    This is hilarious. If you thought the American capitalists were greedy, pig headed assholes who smugly step on anyone they perceive to be under them while acting like they are helping them, here come the European football fans.

    This is a race to the bottom of capitalist assholes trying to get one back on America by further exploiting their proles.

    What a gross thing to be proud of!

        Not at all. If I recall correctly, the fear is that if you don’t tip but then return to the same restaurant, the same server may secretly cough on your food or something before serving it if they remember you.

      I’m not a football fan and I agree with them, not with you.

      For a system to change it needs to be challenged. And so far the crappy tipping bullshit has kept limping on because people are more scared to change the system than they are to attack those who don’t adhere to the broken system.

      You are a reason why it still sticks around. But sure, anything to support the poor, poor employers who have to save money by dumping the salary negotiation of their workers onto the guests with every fucking order.
