Tbf, tipping is a thing in Germany, just a lot smaller than in Freedomland

The soil for growing tipping culture isn't that great cause it's not part of the salary

That wasn't my experience. I was in Bremerhaven several years ago, and nobody would accept a tip.

Just a reminder, if your waitstaff were amazing and gave great service it is not against the law to tip in Australia. They may pool tips, they may get to keep them, they may have a business policy on not accepting them. But if you do offer and they accept, the management still dont get to take it, thats still against the law.

Just a reminder, if your waitstaff...

OH. That kind of server.

My dumb ass is like "what does it mean to tip a computer server? Is that some weird gen z IT slang I've somehow missed that means overloading it somehow and if so why not just call it DOSing like the rest of us?"

I'm such a dope sometimes.

HEy - we're goin' server tippin' tonight. When the sysadmin is asleep we sneak into the server room. Then you just set your shoulder about halfway up the rack, brace your boots on the access floor and push as hard as you can. It's so fucking funny when they crash, but you gotta be ready to run 'cause if the sysadmin wakes up he's gonna be steaming mad. LOLOLOL

What you didn't hear about the universal patch that increases server performance by 420% if you tilt them exactly 69 degrees?

Oh it's actually against the law for management to steal the tips in Australia? How civilized!

The they day I went to Niagara falls, found a pizza pizza, that for our American Friends, is basically the most basic, chain restaurant pizza you can get.

It cost $10.50 plus tax for a slice. The guy handed it to me, and the payment screen had a tipping option. Fuck all of it.

I imagine American tourists will make a lof of servers very happy with the tips they're normally paying. If you want to tip for whatever reason, you probably can. There are a few places where tipping is rude, but most of the world has no problem receiving free money.

Last time through Europe the tourist locations in Germany, France, and Italy had a few places with tipping.
