    I always say it’s shocking what us Americans are accustomed to here in the US, and those that have never been outside of the country would never know these things. I also visited Australia for a bit and noticed no one asked or expected a tip as well.

    Glad I had the opportunity to see how other countries do things outside the US 🙂

      It’s becoming a bit more like that with service charges automatically added to bills in the UK, but only for restaurant meal, never for anything else.

        I once asked to have an automatic tip removed from my order at the cheese bar in Camden and they seemed ready to bite my nose off. Supposed to be a place that knows a bit about labour history, Camden. Not going back, the food was late and it all came at different times.

        As a terrible seppo immigrant I feel like I’m being chased by the terrible seppo shit I ran away from, sometimes.
