    you keep the receipt, that way if you are charged wrongly you just sent the receipt to your CC and chargeback the restaurant.

    it has happened to me a few times, maybe once every 2-3 years, the server will decide I didn’t tip enough and my 10 dollar tip becomes 100 dollars. often they can get away with this because a lot of folks never check their receipts.

    you are supposed to tip based on service level. it’s entirely subjective.

      0 tip for everyone. I order to go.

      You haven’t provided a service. Eating alone in restaurants freaks me out :v

      That’s the thing, it’s just so much more effort

      Doing some bar hopping at night and paying with card, it becomes completely impossible to really keep track, if the waiter just upped the tip

      Or maybe I just was to drunk and have written poorly

      It’s just a shit system, without a way to directly verify on the spot

        i don’t regard it as difficult. i’ve been doing it systematically for 30+ years now, ever since I was a teenager.

          It’s just more work than it should be and it can be much easier

          I just don’t understand, why USA-ians always defend this system

          It’s much more effort and error prone

              Because it’s cheaper and usually not necessary to have additional electrolytes

              Edit: and I’m stopping here
              This is getting beyond stupid
              You guys defend an inferior system, because you don’t want to change, because it was always that way
              At least, that I get from your answers

              I can’t argue with that…

                Right, and your presumption you inherently correct and an entire other culture you aren’t a part of is stupid… is not stupid and arrogant… at all.
