This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

European here. Tipping is not already included in the price of the meal. Living wage is included in the price of the meal.

Tips is completely voluntary, if you think the service was excellent then you really just round up to the nearest nice round number (something like 22.85 becomes 25)

American here. I understood most of what you said, except for the phrase “living wage”. Could you explain this to me? I’ve never heard of it before.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Livable wage, is that a better term for it?

Cuz noone else pointed it out to you, the comment you responded to was sarcastic. It wasnt a language barrier thing.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 7 points 3 weeks ago

Ah. I thought I had used the wrong term.

Nah, all we have are poverty wages and billionaires here.
