Funny. Universally, I've found the dining experience better in places where people don't tip... servers not pushing upgrades, no chasing people away to make room for new customers, knowing exactly how much you'll pay, plates not being snatched away before you can set the fork down, etc. Then again, I grew up in a culture where dinner is the main event, rather than the lead up to it.
- tptacek 14y agoMy only restaurant experiences outside the US are in Europe, and my experiences are that service is perfectly friendly but much slower. This doesn't impact me much (nothing wrong with a leisurely dinner), but it is murder on the small business owners of restaurants; below $50USD/table or so, success or failure in food service is all about turnover.
