As an American, when I'm traveling to other parts of the world where tipping servers isn't the norm, I feel like I have more time to sit and enjoy my food. I can't say for sure that this is related to a tip-based experience or not, but it stands to reason that if a server doesn't benefit financially from getting more volume through his/her tables, he or she will probably be happy to let you sit and enjoy your lunch conversation as long as you'd like. I love it and wish I could have this no-rush dining experience in the States more often.
- DamnYuppie 11y agoIs that a factor of tipping or of the overall traffic in a restaurant?
- chrismcb 11y agoI've never been rushed while dining in the States. The main difference is they usually bring the bill in the States without you asking. Abroad you always have to ask. But I would say table turnover is more to the restaurants benefit than the waiter.
