A Döner costs betwen 5 and 10. If you tip between 1 or 2 euros, you are paying about 20% more. So 10%~15% increase seems about expected at least mathematically.

But still, do not promote tiping culture. It sucks.
- niemandhier 2y agoI can buy bigger, but it’s hard to buy better. Tipping people that don’t expect it makes them happy and well inclined. There is so many ways the quality of what you get can be modified: Is the meat fresh from the spit or is it already cut off at the plate below or even in the little box at the side ? Do you get the tomato slices from the from or the back? Hot sauce from the shelf or from the side stash? The funny thing is, it really only works if the tip makes you stand out positively. So, yes please don’t tip, so my little hack keeps working. Disclosure: I had the displeasure of being forced to work at a kebab Imbiss.
- kwanbix 2y agoI couldn’t disagree more. Tipping was originally meant as a nice gesture for exceptional service. But nowadays, specially in the US, it’s become a ‘tip because my boss is too cheap to pay me a fair wage’ situation. Don’t get me wrong—I love a lot about the US and have visited over 16 times, but tipping culture isn’t one of them. I remember one visit back around 1990. We went for burgers, which arrived late, dry, and poorly made. We decided not to tip, but the owner or manager actually came outside to chase us down and ask for a tip for the server. Seriously, what?
