But that's true for non-tip workers too. Service is a bigger thing in the US than it is in Europe. It's a cultural thing. Tips doesn't change that.

- mdorazio 8y agoExactly. Just look at Japan where tipping is a big no-no, but service is taken extremely seriously and puts the US to shame.
- kazen44 8y agoas a european who visited the US a while ago, the "fake happiness" as i called it was very offputting to me. Like, people working dead-end service jobs act way to happy even when they have no reason to be happy. it seems so forced and fake that it actually gives me an unpleasant feeling. I see little need why a cashier who makes minimum wage should always smile, they are people too and can have a shitty day too?
