I know how it works in Europe, I'm European. Why should it work like we want it to all around the world? Haven't we exported enough of our culture? USA is a different place, let it be.
- piva00 8y agoI'm not an European (as stated on my other comment, I'm Brazilian) and was also quite bothered by servicing in the US. I wish there was a way to signal that I don't want to be bothered but even when I voiced this feeling to a waiter in NY he was still coming around unasked.
- guiriduro 8y agoWhat's wrong with exporting best practice? Underpaid waiters bugging customers on the expectation that with enough extra coffee they might get their aspirational wages paid, customers who have to calculate the cost of their meal plus service charge... in what world is that efficient? Restaurateurs - just pay your staff properly, waitstaff - don't bug the customers; there you go - european advice for free.
- TomMarius 8y agoWe can give advice but we shouldn't expect them to conform. I think people should be free to do any business model they wish. There is root cause underneath - poverty. Let's focus on that.
