Originally posted by eldiablo505It's less common to tip in most places in the world than it is common. The United States easily has the highest tip % of any country I've been to. There is no tipping in Australia. Tipping is pretty uncommon in most of Europe. Tipping small amounts is okay but not necessarily expected (depending on the task) in South America and Southeast Asia.

Service varies greatly from country to country. It's really good in Australia in the places we went despite the no-tipping. I have no idea why anyone would work as a waiter, personally, without tips. The minimum wage in Australia is an impressive $15.50 / hour so there are no such things as jobs that don't provide enough with a 40 hour work week to live on. That's pretty awesome.

Originally posted by eldiablo505The thing that sucks here in the US for servers/waiters is that they get taxed on 15% of all sales, assuming that they get tipped 15% which is, of course, not always the case. So any time you short your server, he's getting taxed on money he never made.

They cut it off at the best part - where the old man comes in and basically makes Mr Pink put in a buck. Great scene."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"
