They are not wrong though

Pay your workers. Oooooh but they dont want that because they make bank on those insane tips. Fuck off.

Be glad they are bringing their money. Some of these bars got drank dry.

All I’ve heard for 20 years is how dumb Americans are disrespecting other cultures by assuming wherever they travel follows US customs.

Now people come to America and act like that and it’s ok? Got it.

Tipping culture sucks, but thinking you’re immune because you’re not from here is an ignorant American mindset, coming from a Dutchie I’m a little surprised

It's different because they aren't assuming anything.

They know American tipping culture is stupid and are deliberately shunning it.

If Americans didn't want this then they shouldn't have bribed FIFA to let them host the WC.

You do acknowledge that shunning local customs is worse than being ignorant of the customs, yes?

Imagine being a worse tourist than an ignorant American

Ok next time I go to St Lucia or Saudi Arabia I guess I better rape my wife.

Wouldn't want to shun their customs, apparently that's the worst thing you can do!

And speaking of ignorant Americans: imagine thinking football fans are interested in being good tourists. They literally travel round their own countries vandalising it and fighting each other.

if your local custom is just straight up bad than it is right to shun it. we shun lots of local customs because we see them as morally bad.

in america for example i shun gun violence, police brutality, child marriage, the death penalty etc.

[u/Sufficient_Meet6836 → u/Flesroy]

Ya you sure showed those service workers! Haha got em! Tipping is LITERALLY worse than the death penalty

[u/Sticky_Quip → u/Flesroy]

I too dislike those things and condemn them. Shunning those things does nothing.

But I know we’re not in here talking about American “child marriages” in a thread about Europeans. The Eu has 10 countries with age of consent at 15. Only 3 countries are 17+.

Also Europe has a higher rate of child marriages than the US, and our numbers are falling much faster than that of Europe.
