- NoodleIncident 7y agoIt's probably a typo for "stiffing", i.e. not paying the tips at all, or paying too little.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI think how it goes is you collect the money. The other diners include tips and tend to round up. You take their tips and use it to pay your own bill. The waiter/restaurant lose their tips, your friends lose face and are tricked out of they're generosity, you get food for no money.

- Spooky23 7y agoSorry it was intended to be "stiffing". Usually when a group grows to a certain size, somebody will decide that rather than chipping in $30, because they "just had a salad", they'll toss in $12.95 for the salad, skip tax and tip and disappear.
- codedokode 7y agoInteresting. I can understand that they don't feel obliged to pay the tip, but how do they justify not paying the tax?
- TeMPOraL 7y agoAre prices in US restaurants given net, instead of gross?
- baud147258 7y agoAt least prices in Canada are net, tax is added when paying.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoInteresting. In Poland, and most EU places I've been to, the prices in restaurants and stores are almost universally gross, to make it easier for the buyer to know how much they'll pay.
- baud147258 7y agoYeah, I got surprised a few time when I was there to study. Also the "mandatory" tipping was unusual, compared to Europe
- TeMPOraL 7y agoWait, what? We don't have mandatory tipping in Poland; it's always discretionary.
- baud147258 7y agoI was not clear, sorry. I was still talking about Canada, where it is expected to add 30% of the price as tip.
