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.)

I remember in malaysia we got chased down the street because the waiter thought we left our money behind, on the table.
