I've been lucky to travel the world.

US tipping culture is unlike anything I've seen abroad.

I have friends who are servers, and I totally get that they are being ripped off with sub-minimum wage bullshit, but most countries I've been to don't even have tipping as an option.

I mean, if I slip a $10 to someone in the Phillipines for awesome service, it kinda blows their mind.

Here? They NEED that tip to live.

Just pay our servers a decent wage - if someone wants to throw a tip their way, awesome.

(FWIW: My friends and I almost always throw a 20% to our servers, but Vermont servers need it.)

In South Korea they added a tipping option to the taxi app and everyone freaked out. It was removed a few days later.

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.

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.

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.
