If most of your bonus go to taxes and you still have money for a pizza then you are not poor and nothing to complain about.
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 4 weeks ago:
Japanese people do that as trash bins are very rare. It is an education issue and not the lack/full of trash binsy

No I eat garlic but the one they put in the plate has a bizarre odor.

I was in some European city and there is one Chinese restaurant serving hot pot. So I wanted to try it. I ordered and selected the items I want for around 50€. The waitress asked me : “is that all? Do you want the menu?”. So I was wondering if I didn’t order enough. At the end, what I ordered was enough for at least 3 people. I was in a table for 4 people and it was full with all the dishes. The waitress then asked me if she need to bring a bowl of rice!
They brought the sauces and there was garlic on the plate. The odor ruined the whole meal for me. I couldn’t eat most of it and I was disappointed as I don’t like wasting food.

The tipping culture is very rooted in Americans. I was at restaurant in Europe and there was a customer (certainly American). He ate during 30 minutes or less, the waiter was nice but he wasn’t doing it for tips and the customer only saw him when he ordered the food and at payment. The prices are high end.
When he paid he was surprised that there was no tipping options (unfortunately we started seeing them in some European countries) and asked him to pay another 10€.

If you are paid $15/h that is 20% of $75. Don’t you think that the clients you will serve will pay way more than that during an hour?

Waiters are against it as they may get way more than if they were paid by the owner. Also they automatically get raises when menu prices increases.
What blows my mind is that American do tip everywhere and also give cash to some workers at the end of the year (mail man, garbage man,… Etc).
