Das Boot starring Calvin & Habs

Whenever I hear it I think of Casablanca

Every time I buy stuff for my dog, they tell me the price and I turn to Oz and say “ooof, such much, Ozzie! Such much!” Gets a laugh, totally worth it

agreed.

a restaurant without a waitstaff is called a buffet

@@_Dropkick but don't buffets have waitstaff? I'd say bussers are waitstaff since they have to clean up after a customer, even if utensils and dishware are turned in by the customer to a conveyor belt; cashiers become waitstaff if there's no kiosk to order at since they take your order and payment; attendants at sections are technically waitstaff if they're not actively cooking something because they serve you something.

People are too lenient with waiters/waitresses. They are in on the scam. They earn usually more (with tips) than their counterparts in Europe where the minimum wage is higher. The restaurant owners profit, the waiters/waitresses profit - only the customer is scammed by having to pay more than the food and „service“ (wow, bringing food from A to B, so hard /s) are worth. American customers, don‘t just hate on the owners, hate on the staff too!!!!! They are in on the scam!!! Also, the kitchen staff doesn‘t get tips even though they do actual work (unlike the waiters).

@@camloch Buffets also typically have drink servers, which are a type of waitstaff. And I agree with your original message.

The waitstaff WANTS it that way. If they would be salaried, they'd get paid salary for a job any untrained person can do. But because of the tipping culture they rake in lots of money just by carrying around plates and smiling. "Oh you want that $100 bottle of wine? Let me get that for you. Here. And now my $20 tip, please." That's the reason they rather complain about "bad tippers" instead of taking on a career at McDonald's where they'd be paid a proper amount over living wage.

Lol I wanted to make a similar comment.

Tell it to the servers. They're the ones who don't want to get rid of tipping

​@@LiteralCrimeRave Do you have any evidence to back that up?

@@samshorto5433 Unions being a constant and major opponent servers getting paid normal minimum wage

@Life Do you have any evidence of that?

Yeah, iPhone listed as $699 in the US vs. €899 in Europe.

Sales Tax not being included is thanks to state and federal taxes not being agreed upon, and thus not fluctuate or need to be repriced when crossing state lines

@@onionsieglinde8718 Europe's countries also have different taxes but we have a law that the price shown to private customers MUST be the amount they have to actually pay.

@@onionsieglinde8718 Not just state and federal, but also often _local_ (both county and city) taxes as well. I’ll use some examples I am most familiar with, in Albuquerque† the sales tax‡ is 7.75%, in the suburb Rio Rancho it is 7.6875%, but in a different suburb Corrales it’s 7.8125%. So, right around Cottonwood Mall, where all three meet up, you would expect there’s going to be 3 different levels of taxes based on address, right? Nope, there’s at least 3 more combinations of jurisdiction right there as well! So, within a 1 km radius from that mall, there’s like 6 maybe even 7 or 8 different sales tax rates, just crossing the street could change a price on a 99.99$ item by a few cents. †: yes, the city from Breaking Bad ‡: despite everyone calling it “sales tax” it is not actually a sales tax, but a Gross Receipts Tax, which is levied upon all of a business’s revenue, meaning that not only do you have tax on the 5$ mug, but you have tax on your restaurant bill before we even get to the matter of including a tip.

​@@onionsieglinde8718 and why would that be a Problem to do so?

Germany is getting worse with every year. The Good Times are gone.

@@D4nt4lion You guys had good times ?

@@FunkyBuddha81 The 80s and 90s were pretty decent

@@D4nt4lion because you were not born yet?

Niii

Nice refrence.

It really is, especially the brown paper bag thing.

Kommt auf den Moment an. Bei der EM/WM und wichtigen HSV spielen wird Deutsch gesprochen. Sonst meist Denglisch

@@calvinandhabs Wichtige HSV Spiele? Sowas wie gegen die illustren Vereine Sandhausen oder Darmstadt?

Hmmm dutch and english?

A solution in the middle would be to increase the wage anyway, and still allow for customers to tip if they feel the service was good. Bam, problem solved, no more 'have to tip' or 'cannot tip'.

I've heard most servers make a lot of money just on tops, and would rather keep that.

Usually you have an insurance, you paid for. If you have insurance, you pay nothing at all, even being a stranger. There are some things, the insurance wont pay for, but thats usually things like yoga or something like that.

As a tourist without local health insurance, you would most likely have to pay out of pocket. Costs would be substantially lower than in the US though. Then your own health insurance would reimburse you (hopefully). Pro tip: Get an international health insurance plan before you go abroad.

It's just a cultural thing. In Germany american service would be considered anoying

Best service I’ve ever had was in Japan - no tipping there

This, unfortunately, is relatively new practice. Infuriating to those of us who were of sound mind, before it came into existence.

Selling out is an American pastime

I see what you mean, although it's certainly a way bigger problem now with typical shortened dates with electronics like 9/8/23. There are a lot of reasonable reasons for other imperial units the US stays with. Fahrenheit is more useful and accurate for the typical range of human environments, inches and feet are well suited to many day to day measurements, where a cm is too small a unit but a meter being too large, miles being a round fraction of the average travelling distance on foot in a day.

But only if you use the year-month-day format, which is perfectly acceptable and widely used in Europe. To stick to your analogy, you'd get a calendar of the appropriate year, then open it to the respective month. The problem isn't the order of month-day per se, but the mixed order of month-day-year. Tickets with either, 2023-10-09 or 9.10.2023 are fine in Europe, a ticket with American 10/9/2023 feels "disordered" to us.
