Next time, instead of tipping just ask the shop owner to raise the wages because the waiters do such a good job
How often do the owners of the shop show up where you live?
Often
Ah, but forgot to mention I live in a no-tip-country. Is there maybe an association between tip/no-tip culture and the percentage of shops actually run by their owners? Not for me to find out but I hope someone will share their insights with me on the 24.06.2027 about this
Yeah, usually if there's a place that's tip-centric it's owned by someone who shows up RARELY if at all, certainly not to work there, and has at least one level of management between them and any anyone who is tipped; the managers who do the majority of the work for them at slightly ABOVE minimum wage
Often suggesting what seems like completely obvious and simple solutions to people outside of your country, norms and culture can make you seem ignorant.
Congrats, you're now an unofficial American!
Or do both?
No?
