We don't tip in Australia, but if we do, it's because we liked the service, not for buying shit off a shelf.

@ThePensta81 Месяц назад

Yeah it's definitely different here. I've never tipped here in Australia. Never felt the need too. I mean if people want to they can. At least they have the choice. For me if I feel I've received exceptional service I will let the Manager of the establishment know. Sadly I haven't had to do that many times though. I just hope tipping/service charges don't make their way here to Australia. I feel like we already pay enough.

@adamdambrov2308 Месяц назад

@@valeriewright8686 that is because it is expected in the US. Tip less if the service is bad. But always tip your restaurant server in the US. If the service is so bad it is not worth of any tip, you should complain to the restaurant manager. I do agree that tipping has gotten out of hand here in the US, but at a traditional restaurant a tip is expected unless the service is poor. Some servers make less than minimum wage because tipping is taken into account.

Delis are more noted for sandwiches,steakhouses for proper steak.But a deli is a good start,though I would have gone for a Reuban.Also you should try a proper Italian restaurant as well as a pizza joint.You only need to tip for a served meal,a sit down or carhop.You do not have to tip if the service or food is poor.They will certainly try to get money out of you,it's New York.Just remember as my dad always said:"My money is green anyplace" and do not be bullied.

I paid $60 for a high end steak at Gallagher's, just a few blocks away, when we were over there just 6 weeks ago. I thought $60 was high but it was my birthday and I went for the famous name. It was an amazing steak. $40 for a low end, thin, chewy steak is a bit of a rip off.

@LyleFrancisDelp Месяц назад

D.J. OK....let me get this out of the way....yes, the U.S. has a tipping culture. For table service, we are expected to tip, as the the waitstaff relies on such tips for their livelihood. However, you should never...repeat...NEVER be expected to tip for a bottle of water. NEVER. That's a NYC establishment preying on unknowing tourists. Conversely, when we've visited Ireland and Scotland, the tipping culture with which I grew up sticks... and even though I've been told tipping isn't expected in the UK, I still drop at least 10% on the table. That's how I've been conditioned, growing up in the U.S. But still....in the U.S., tipping is never expected for simple shop purchases...only for table service. NYC is pretty expensive as it is. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please make sure you get some real NY pizza at Lombardi's in Little Italy or Juliana's in Brooklyn, and some soup dumplings in Chinatown at Joe's Shanghai. NYC has much better to offer than a simple steak or hotdogs.

@Roy-gi5ul Месяц назад

A tip should be for exceptional service beyond the average. Iffy service gets zilch from me.

@LyleFrancisDelp Месяц назад

@@Roy-gi5ul I understand that. But what defines "exceptional" service? Please understand that even waitstaff who do a normal job...not exceptional...are underpaid by the establishment. The only way would be to pay them a good wage, but that would mean an increase in menu prices.

@patriot-o8d Месяц назад

@@LyleFrancisDelp If the owners of these places paid their workers a decent wage to begin with then tips wouldn't have to be expected. It's just simply wrong for anyone to expect a tip for doing what they are paid to do. Here in the UK I only tip if I want to and not because I feel obliged to do

@Eric_G65 Месяц назад

DJ, when you come to NYC, you should go to the classic places, not these random hole in the walls. That steak you ate is nothing like the kind of steak you would get at one of the classic New York Steak houses. Go to Keens steakhouse for the best steak and get ribeye not New York Strip or Fillet. Ribeye has the best flavor because of the bone and fat content. Go to Brennan and Carr in Brooklyn for Roast Beef Sandwich, go to John's of Bleeker for possibly the best pizza in the world, better than Italy. Go to Blondies for the best chicken wings and waffle fries. Go to Serendipity for the best Ice Cream desserts. Go to Shu Jiao Fu Zhou for the best Chinese food. Go to Second Avenue Deli for the best classic Kosher Deli. Go to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx and pick just about any Italian restaurant and you will be happy with your pick. Then there are a dozens of great ethnic neighborhoods where you can find just about any ethnic cuisine you could think of.

Remember when me and the wife had a steak in a dinner/ restaurant, we both had a open New York strip sandwich,fries and a bit of side salad , a huge wedge of strawberry cheesecake and a beer and coffee each the total bill including service charge and tax was $110 for the pair of us. 10 years ago. I am sure the presentage was only 10/15% that was bad enough.

@DrFrankLondon Месяц назад

Hope that was a kind of gravy on the plate, otherwise the steak wasn't rested properly after cooking. I love a nice New York Strip, it's a really good cut and tender if prepared properly. Glad you liked it, DJ and that you're enjoying yourself in New York, I love New York.😊

@ThePensta81 Месяц назад

I think you hit the nail on the head that the prices in the US are now extortionate. The US used to be huge portions and be cheap but now its much smaller portions and double if not triple the price. As much as I love the US, as you said, those prices have definitely put me off. When you add on tax and tip as well its sheer craziness. Now if the quality of food was outstanding it might not be as bad but when you're getting ok'ish food you definitely don't see the value. Don't worry Australia isn't as bad as that. Like in the UK the taxes are included in the price so the price is the price. We also don't tip so if you ever did visit the land of Oz you'd be ok. I know I may have scared you a bit but Australia is definitely nowhere near as expensive as the US. 😁👍🏼

@kirathomsen-cheek9834 Месяц назад

That is correct! Most people have to pay for their own health insurance, which is hundreds of dollars a month. Service workers make a minuscule hourly wage - that is set by the government - and if they did not get tips they would starve. If you go to the USA and you don’t tip, trust me - do not go back. People remember, because they rely on that income. A person who doesn’t leave a tip in NYC is called “a bum.” America is a cruel and harsh place for service workers.

You had the option not to tip and you took it. Alternatively, take cash for the shops. I was shown up many years ago in New York when I genuinely forgot to tip a barman, it was humiliating. Not been back since.

What you failed to mention regarding the tipping is, when they hand over the machine with the tipping amount given as a percentage ,ie. 18% 20% 25% they add this amount to the cost of the meal + tax. So you are effectively tipping on the tax amount as well. this gives them a sneaky boost to the tip.

I've never had to tip for buying a bottle of water (or anything) in a store in New York. Ever. Maybe it's because you're in a tourist area and the store is trying to fleece customers, I don't really know. Also, for only $3, it would have been easier just to pay cash. A lot of businesses in New York either have a minimum amount to use a card or add on a surcharge as they get charged by the credit card companies so they lose money with every transaction.

I think Darren try a few of the famous Pizza restaurants one bite style Dave Portnoy everyone knows the rules 🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️ there are some amazing places x so far the food you’ve had has been sub standard to London just a suggestion x that looked like a weather-spoons meal .great review though and tips in the USA is part of the staff wages it’s a strange setup 🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

A little tough for my tastes but the gravy looks chefs kiss

NYC a great place but like you say DJ expensive. I just don’t agree with that tipping option unless of course you’ve had a customer or a waitress service then yes. Steak looked excellent 👌

nice charted fat on a juicy pork chop or a sirloin is superb!

They say the tip helps with a low wage they get, that's the problem with America blame everybody else, don't make the customer the donkey, meal was so expensive, not for any bucket, good video DJ 👍
