Cultural difference ahead.
The idea that I am getting "a nice treatment" because I pay more makes me a little uncomfortable. I'm ok with, let's say, discounts or anything that could be considered "commercial services" (like a gift or an extra), but knowing that someone is nicer to me because I pay extra makes me feel weird...
All the "we're spending an obscene amount of money, so we're going to need a lot more help sucking up to us" kind of thing is something that baffles me, as it obviously fake...
- pm90 13y agoI don't think that its sucking up. If you get good service, the only way you can show your appreciation is by tipping. I've been to many places where even tipping higher does not give you better service. I think its a case-by-case thing; some waiters/baristas/bartenders accept it and others don't. On a more personal note, a minor annoyance is on small purchases (like $2.50 coffee), how much can I tip?
- jaimebuelta 13y agoWell, I can show appreciation coming back... Just as I do in a lot of other things I consume. (Anyway, I understand is mostly a cultural thing)
- gpvos 13y agoI'm not sure, but doesn't the tipping usually come after the service? So the chance for extra nice treatment is mostly gone anyway?
