Thought it said “tribbing” and that there would be hot scissoring action in thread.

True. But the inherent begging at a lot of public customer points is getting pretty tiresome, no?
I definitely have gratuity fatigue in the US. I had dinner at a worlds top 50 contender in Guadalajara last week. Three hour ordeal, 10 course tasting menu for $170USD. Tip suggestions were 10-15-20%. Contrast that to shitty fast casual American dining with 20-25-30% suggestions. America lost the plot.

Flying out tomorrow to spend the rest of the week at a winery in Romania.

yep, had dinner at a really nice restaurant in Bordeaux, summer before last, five of us, wine, bubbles, appetizers, awesome meal, deserts, I tried to get the tab but the lady hosting us had pre-arranged to pay it, I asked if I could at least leave a gratuity, she said it's not expected, the servers are paid well, and in some cases they are offended by an offered tip, never saw the tab bbut I'll bet that dinner was close to a thousand Euros

then don’t tip anyone. What are you bitching about again?
The constant increase in frequency and amount when it comes to tipping these days. I thought that was pretty clear for most.

that's awesome, my wife is in the wine business(importing,) and a lot of her clients are in Europe, we combine trips with visiting and staying at some of the Chateaus on the winery property, I love going over there, those folks live a completely different lifestyle and just seem to have a different mindset about how they approach life, have a great trip

Got into my hotel last night and there’s a placard with a q code to tip members of the hotel staff.
I just got here, checked in on my phone, have a digital key and went to my room. No one has even helped me with anything yet. WTF
You're mad about a QR code?

pick up pizza at the counter
ie: Always prepay online when ordering.

The comprehension or ignorance like I’m mad bc there’s a QR code in my room. I’m irritated that people everywhere feel cool begging for people to pay them twice for one job. I loved being in France and not tipping for anything and people there getting paid by their jobs for doing their work.

The ignorance of you thinking that a QR code is someone begging for your tip as soon as you walk in your room. Ignore it if nothing deserved a tp. Or if by the end of your stay you were happy with the service, leave a tip. It's pretty simply, you just sound like a puss. Everyone hates tip culture, but this is about as easy to ignore as any tipping situation that has ever existed.

Tipping hotel staff is traditional, nothing new.
Tip on checkout, x/room night.
All the new tipping pressure is bs, don’t participate.

would chicken allow me to qr code my avatar so when someone enjoys a post i can get real life venmo coins?
You know that isn't a bad idea. + $0.01 per UV and -$0.01 (or some other arbitrary #) per DV. Eventually the bad posters/Trolls would be weeded out. They wouldn't be as big a jerks if they had to pay for it....
(and no, this isn't really a serious idea.)

Well, it looks like you don't have to tip anything.

If you are tipping, you may need to sober up and go home.

They have apps that track your tipping habits and if it’s not up to snuff they sprinkle in some bed bugs.

Whenever I traveled to Europe for work, I left all the change on the dresser.
$15 to $20 in change and the airport exchanges would not take it because it weighed too much.
I offended a waitress in Germany one time because I left 20% for an excellent meal. She thought I was making a pass at her.

I order takeout a couple of times a week. Why does the person at the counter expect a tip now? It used to not be this way.

It’s so wild to think that they find it offensive. It was a struggle for me that we weren’t tipping in Europe (it felt wrong almost ).
I left some minimal returned spare change to old waiter in Italy. He was so damn happy. Like it was the ultimate compliment to him and the restaurant.
It’s so weird to navigate here vs Europe in regards to tipping. Completely different mindsets.
