Its crazy, every time I am in the US and a group needs to split a bill its a absurd debate over which third party payments provider to use.

- groestl 2mo agoIsn't "split the bill" something that the restaurant does?
- chneu 2mo agoYes but a lot of people just use apps. It's weird. Americans are super weird about dining procedures and expectations. Remember, we tip here. It's weird.

- ricardobayes 2mo agoIn your list it says 13 out of the 18 countries tipping is customary or expected. France and Spain are not among those, which tracks with my experience.
