Being spanish I don't find necessary to forbid the tips. Here if you are halpy with the service you let a couple euros, if it's a large bill something more, but it's not mandatory and the waiters are not going to look bad at you for not doing it. Every time I go to the states I find anoying that the waiter or the taci driver are counting every cent I let them, and that there is the possibelity to have a dispute over that. I'll rather have the quantity declared on the total of the bill and avoid that tense situation. I don't get how you can separate the food from the service, it seems like if the restaurant service were provided by random guys that just happen to be there that day, and not by proper employees. I know it's not like that but I can't avoid getting that sensation when I have to pay.

- omegant 13y agoVery interesting piece, thank you. I didn´t know how much the american laws are set about tipping. It´s not like that in Spain as far as I know. I don´t know about the dynamics but I´ll expect that they are playing a similar role between employees.
