One of the best things about being an American abroad is tipping, its so rare people treat you like a king.
My favroite were how the italians responded to it. I tipped my dive coordinator after a group SCUBA dive in Sardinia and they decided to use my tip to buy everyone beers. They insisted I drink one with them and hang out after the dive. They were a great bunch of fellows! Italians in general really are. I remember when Iw as lost once I was so desperate I had to knock on some random ladies door in the middle of nowhere to ask for help (I was stuck on some mountain side).. She invited me in, gave me something to drink and did her best to help me even though her english wasnt great.
I really miss Italy!
@freemo one of the worst things about being from the UK in America is tipping.
Just pay people properly already and stop this bs.
@M0YNG I certainly dont disagree with that. Oddly many stores have tried just that and the workers themselves actually wound up protesting. They made more from tips than they did with no tips and a reasonable wage.
The thing about tips is generally if you go above and beyond in how you do your job you can make a lot of money. Bartenders make bank when they are good at a good bar.
On the flip side the service industry in europe kinda sucks. Service is slow, they dont really go out of their way to please you.. They do their job and thats about it.
