You can always tip your fedora
ask it to help you calculate the tax next
Hahahaha. Only hipster cafes and shitty Chinese run stores have "tip jars" in Australia.
We pay the people working here at least 20 dollars per hour. They're doing fine. They don't need tips.
Also, when you travel you follow the customs of the place you are visiting. Stop being an idiot.
only cUcKs tip

How much of a brainlet do you have to be to not be able to calculate 15 or 20% of your bill...
Lack of tipping is the only reasonable thing the colonies came up with. Stop ruining it.
>Technology is supposed to help society, not harm
Tipping harms society by making it acceptable to pay fuckall wages
Unlike clapistan, waiters and other service people get paid living wages in other countries. If you look at the history, tipping was originally a way for the rich to get over on everybody else. Then tipistani restaurant owners took advantage and abused it as a cost saving measure, and everyone in that country loves their asshole business owners and managers.
minimum wage for casuals is up to almost $23 now. probably still not "fine" in the bigger capital cities though.
Because its siri thats why

How much Dollar is a 1,5l Coca Cola in Australia ?
tipping should be illegal
about $3 for a 1.25L at a grocery store. A convenience store is probably $4 or $5 but they regularly do 4x1.25L for $10 on weekends

They probably paid decent wages in Aus unlike Murica.

Well yeah you tip if you want and it's mostly to indicate the service they provided is worth more than what they may be getting.
But if it's effectively baked into their wage in Australia, why tip?

Imagine being a European/Australian who doesn't know that if a server makes less than minimum wage after tips in America, they automatically get the remainder added to their salary.
calm down guy. it's just an observation that cost of living is incredibly high in major australian cities. i'm not going to take your guns away.

thanks amurica for importing the freedumbs
in australia they actually pay a living wage so tips are not expected, but always appreciated.
Yeah, but things are also more expensive in straya partly due to the high minumum wage but also because it's just expensive to ship shit halfway around the world.
well feel free to tip then but none of the Australians will lol
>We pay the people working here at least 20 dollars per hour.
How the fuck do your businesses make money then in your socialist shithole goddamn
>being this mad
I'm not murican, I was just pointing out the high minimum wage should be seen in a proper context.
>What is purchasing power the picture
by making everything expensive retard
a small price to pay to have the convenience of just paying the advertised price for everything and not get shot on the way to the store
If I got to American to vacation and not tip, can I get away with the "Sorry I dont understand what tipping means? I'm not American"
just don’t tip them
they might hate you but who cares you’re never going to see their face ever again
Maybe the minimum wagers are able to buy products that businesses sell when they can afford to exist.
Tipping should be phased out everywhere. How is that shit legal, just pay them their proper wages.
You can get away with not tipping if you don't frequent the same restaurant. They don't see how much you've tipped until you're walking out the door. The only bad thing that would happen is if you go to the same restaurant a bunch and get bad service, but then you can complain to the manager.
>.t American that doesn't tip
>order food daily from different places

Americans are the worst.
t. American
In first world people don't have to rely on tips since they have real work laws.
>pretending to be an American just to shitpost
Amerimutts have ruined it for everyone. Here in Ontario they increased the minimum wage to $14/hr and the fuckers still ask for tips

But that's evil communism and therefor inherently evil with absolutely no positive sides.
even if they were paid enough it’s been normalized in america for so long people will expect them anyways

Here's a little secret that waiters don't want people to know. Waiters do get paid minimum wage by the restaurant if their tips do not make their hourly rate over minimum wage. The thing is, most waiters don't like this because they make taxable income. Instead, what they do is only report that they barely made minimum wage, so they only pay tax on that and pocket the rest of the tip tax free. Fuck em, don't tip, they're making well over minimum wage for a bullshit job tax free.
Not gonna lie I usually find these funny but this one felt it was trying too hard. The tipping part was alright but the piracy, keystrokes, and revolver felt extremely out of place.

>tip calculator
Please tell me this isn't actually a thing, are americans that dumb? How hard is it to multiply 1% of whatever the cost of your meal was by the percent tip?
$40 meal? 1% is 0.40, 15% tip is (10*.4) + (5*.4) = 6 If you can't do that in your head in under 10 seconds you don't belong in the first world.
Are you this desperate for attention Rajeesh?
>tipping
why should I contribute to the wage of an employee if I had paid for the food already? that's not my problem
They brought it to your table though.

>why is siri encouraging people to be cheap?
Quite the opposite, it encourages employees to give enough to their workers to fulfil their lives and not live on a pittance.
so? they work there, that's their job, the employer should pay them a respectable wage based on the income through their service
do you tip a cashier at the store because they scanned your shit?
Wouldn't spit in your food if you weren't a complete cunt, Muhammad.
>do you tip a cashier at the store because they scanned your shit?
We probably should.
>They brought it to your table though.
The restaurant or whatever should care about their wages, not the customers.
Being more expensive doesn't mean that minimum wage is equivalent to states, their wage is still higher and they can pay for more with their money even if on average their products cost more.
it's all a test. after the american population proves it no longer needs an app to handle the basic math required to work with percentages the government will finally implement communist laws so that tips and taxes are just included as part of the advertised price. Then the USA can progress into the 20th century like the rest of the world did

>he can't calculate a tip in his head
1. Take the total bill.
2. Move the decimal one place to the left. There's your 10% tip.
3. Double it. There's your 20% tip.
4. Halve the value in #2. There's your 5% tip.
5. Take the value in #4 and add it to the one in #2. There's your 15% tip.
If you want to tip between any of these values, just pick a number between them and stop trying to calculate an 11.85% tip.
>Calculus III in america

They never taught us percentages. I feel like a moron.
The food has a price on the menu, so why would you pay more than asked for? Do you pay your groceriy store more after every shopping?
Typically I take an Uber to my local supermarket, tip the driver. Someone says hello to me and gives me a shopping cart, I tip them. When I'm checking out I tip the bag boy, then my driver, then when I'm home I finally give my dog a treat.
I'm surprised not one of you mutts tried to quote some obscure bible verse in favour of tipping yet.
>I'm supposed to tip because people are retarded enough to take a $2/hr job
Jerome 6:9 - Aramour son of Dionisus was cast out of a local bazaar. As the guards carried him out he shouted the word of the lord "gibs me dat"
>if you can afford to order you can afford to tip
How does that make any sense. If I'm ordering food it's because I have no other choice. It's already more expensive than cooking it myself and it's typically worse. So you're already getting more out of me than I'd like to be spending and you want 30% more?
Like do they just assume nobody else works besides them? If I wasen't busy with my job I'd be at home cooking it myself. Being overwhelmed already makes me want to spend less not more.
