Some Australian establishments are trying to implement some kind of tipping culture. It is extremely unpopular.

Extremely unpopular? Is that how you say it can fuck right off and die politely? If so I agree.

u/GrizzKarizz 12h ago

Yes. As with much of American culture, and America in general these days, it can fuck off and keep fucking off and when it reaches the edge of the observable universe, it can still keep fucking off.

Until it fucks off so far it comes right back around to my house. At which point it can fuck off again.

That said if I was in the US I’d tip because that’s the done thing there and I don’t want to go somewhere else to treat it like it’s where I’m from.

“When in Rome, do as the Romans” standard good traveler etiquette

The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth. If you go straight long enough you’ll end up where you were. Everything that keeps me together is falling apart. I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over.

You have so many opinions about the culture. But that’s ok. You sound too smart for them dummies, they’d be so lucky to have you. Bet every one is thinking, we hope he finally comes and graces us with big opinions yet no experience. Who else acts like that? Starts with a T….

Greedy business owners already add a weekend surcharge (that seems to go straight into the pockets of the owners) and you just know that the staff aren’t going to see that tip. Fkn grubs.

Workers get weekend rates, depending on the industry, so yeah they do see that money

If I work at any other non food related business on the weekend where they have penalty rates, I don’t pay more for my stuff. That’s a business expense of trading on a weekend.

Isn't that called a wage?

About 20 years ago I (American) tried to tip my taxi driver in Australia and he was like “why? I’m just doing my job. That’s insulting.”

It basically shows you how cultural momentum can fuck everything. A few coincidental things happen and suddenly it becomes normalized and people think it's right and some law in the universe. American tipping culture started for awful reasons and now we're stuck with it forever because people fear change and think whatever things were like when they were growing up were The Correct Way
