Agreed. I travelled overseas this summer, and what I miss most was the tip-free culture. It was so refreshing to know exactly what something would cost you. When I go into a cab or a restaurant in America, the bill at the end always seems to be a mystery. It's a very anti-consumer condition.
- reuven 13y agoI just spent two months living near Chicago, and I have to agree. The fact that taxes (city + state + county) and tips aren't included in prices means that the amount you really spend isn't at all obvious until it comes time to pay. It was quite maddening. Tipping is virtually unheard of in Israel (except a standard 10% in restaurants), and all prices are required to include tax. So if the taxi meter says that you need to pay 15 shekels, you can be sure that this is the price.
