Took this far through the comments to get there. There’s a lot of competition for “the worst thing about America”, but it tops my personal list.
- Fnoord 6y ago(Also @int_19h) The mandatory tipping culture is another one. If it is mandatory, add it in the price. Tips should be earned. At least in Europe I know what to expect upfront. The imperial system is another. Makes it unnecessary difficult to convert units. Its difficult to change such illogical customs though. They're deeply ingrained in the culture, which is in many ways a dominant culture.
- peteretep 6y agoMm, that’s interesting, because as annoyed as I am about sales tax, I find myself not at all annoyed about the 10% automatically added to my bill for service in the UK or 7% in Thailand.
