    Just like groceries don’t include tax in the advertised price.

    Nah, that’s just in America, because Americans are dumb. Tipping doesn’t exist here BTW, because it’s idiotic and why would we do that.

    (if Americans aren’t dumb, why did they vote for Trump twice?)

    (I finally found an upside to the Trump presidency!)

      Almost 70 million people voted against him, myself included. We’re not a monolith. Also, only 11 states tax groceries.

      Idk where “here” is, but I’ve seen plenty of foreign countries’s restaurants adopting tipping, particularly at higher end establishments, as business owners realize they can just ask for extra and get it.

        American culture is still seen as something to emulate in many parts of the world. Hopefully less so after the next four years. We’ve had the same stupid tipping culture emerge here as well - seems like a sign that taxes aren’t high enough at the top end.
