    Imagine Americans going to other countries and complaining that they don’t get free refills or free water and saying stuff like “if you’d just increase the cost of everything, you could afford to offer free refills and free water”

    Like, I agree, tipping culture sucks and I wish it wasn’t the norm in America but IT IS and to just go there and pretend like they should change overnight for tourists is such a wild take.

      Getting pissed at tourist because you lie and say something is not mandatory when it actually is such a fun hyperbole to read. Especially since they are not there to visit the country. They couldn’t care less about culture of the US. They are there to watch football (yah, not soccer) and it just so happens the world cup is there lmao. I hate football and I’m so glad I don’t feel the need to go to such a worker exploiting country…

        The bosses who make their money regardless and exploit the worker say it isn’t mandatory, the workers who are actually the ones affected by lack of tips say it is mandatory, wanna guess why the discrepancy exists? Because the boss makes their money regardless and you only harm the poor worker by not tipping, that’s why. The workers couldn’t care less about your dumb fucking game, pay me or don’t come in, fuck my boss, and fuck your reasoning for being in the country, you are so act accordingly.

        (The royal you, I read your comment lol)

        And “soccer” was originally British slang for “association football,” gridiron football outpaced it in popularity and won the title “football” over association or rugby football. Big ol’ “who cares” on that one.
