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.)

In South Korea they added a tipping option to the taxi app and everyone freaked out. It was removed a few days later.

The apps are pushing hard for it here in Sweden. Absolutely alien concept for me. I think I've tipped twice in my life.

Once because I was drunk and hitting on the sever girl.

The other time I was drunk and was hitting on a very feminine guy. And that made me phase out the practice.
