Tipping doesn’t exist here BTW, because it’s idiotic

Idk where “here” is, but I’ve seen plenty of foreign countries’s restaurants adopting tipping, particularly at higher end establishments, as business owners realize they can just ask for extra and get it.

American culture is still seen as something to emulate in many parts of the world. Hopefully less so after the next four years. We’ve had the same stupid tipping culture emerge here as well - seems like a sign that taxes aren’t high enough at the top end.

  We used to export our culture to our satraps in Mexico and Germany and Japan and Korea. But now we tend to import more than we export.
  
  I don’t see this as cultural though. It’s just a money thing. People ask because they know their customers will say yes. That’s all there is to if
