I'm from Medford oregon. We never tip self-service food places, but we do tip places where they seat us and bring our food, and they get extra points for lots of things like checking on us them being nice, smiling,ect.. Love watching all of your adventures thank you for sharing 😊
I'm with Nicole. Tipping has gotten out of hand. I noticed it during Covid. There was no dine in options for awhile so when you went to pick up your food they would have the tip on the screen. During that time I did tip. Restaurants were struggling and restaurant workers were taking a chance of getting covid by serving you. While it started at sit down restaurants, fast food jumped on the bandwagon as well. Then after covid they just kept the tip on the screen. I work hard for my money. I'm not tipping where I wait on myself and if I get poor service at a dine in restaurant i won't tip there either. 7:10
I’m from Spain originally and we don’t tip there, or just give a small amount if the service is good. The reason why we tip in US though, is because food service workers get a very small salary and essentially work for tips. In Spain servers get paid a full salary, and don’t have to rely on tips. That’s also why you may notice, in general, servers is US are very friendly and efficient, as that’s how they earn a good tip 😊
Hey Jack; glad to see you are happily married to Nicole. You guys should move to the Philippines. No one tips here and the prices are dirt cheap. You can live live a King on your social security income. I use to live in Conway Arkansas but married a Filipino and made the Philippines my home. Take care and God Bless Yall
Full service restaurants where they bring you everything to the table should get tips. Coffee shops, self serve fast food places, etc. should not. I also think that coffee shops and other places where they do bring stuff like a coffee or pastry to your table could get like a smaller percent tip, like 5-8%, since they are not providing full service like a restaurant does.
