- Company refuses pay worker enough. Expects tips to cover the gap.
- World Cup visitors refuse to tip. Says company should pay more.
- Worker gets f*cked over from both ends.
- Company still gets their money so they going give a f*ck.
- World Cup visitors get to feel self-righteous.
- Worker is still f*cked over, can’t pay their rent or buy groceries.
Seems like you’re just being cheap assholes to me. A couple idioms come to mind:
- two wrongs don’t make a right.
- when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
We love anti worker Europeans.
When I went to Japan I didn’t tip because it was rude.
If I’ll go to USA I won’t tip unless I want to because expecting tips is rude.
FIFA the largest slave owner of sports, its no wonder Middle east country have bought sports organizations.
Fun fact: These states require tippable workers to be paid the full minimum wage:
- Alaska
- California
- Guam
- Minnesota
- Nevada
- Oregon

Fuck anyone who went to the World Cup and fuck their opinion about anything.
Yes fuck fifa, sportsball and the world cup…
It is very funny though.
Honestly, there’s nothing funny about any of this.
There was nothing funny about joking about glassing the middle east or invading europe, but here we are.
Yeah, like I said, “any of this” includes that. Watching the US becoming the Nazis is not entertainment when you know it means people will suffer, not just the people you think should suffer.
Fuck fifa and the world cup yes absolutely; fuck sportsball ehh in its current form yes but no in general.
Local sportsball leagues? Sure.
National televised sportsball? Just a vehicle for gambling and societal division.
Sportsball is just a war surrogate anyway.
I never before thought about FIFA bringing attention to social issues but think about it, the book the spotlight on Qatar, and now the United States, they should probably go to North Korea next.
They are already going to Saudi Arabia in 2034.
They’re just gonna go to wherever is corrupt enough to give them the biggest kickback.
The book the spotlight? What?
What sucks about stories like this is not only are the servers not getting paid, they’re actually losing money because of the alcohol sales.
Why? Because in most restaurants that sell alcohol the server has to tip out the bartender a percentage of their drink sales. That $0 tip actually just took $5 away from the server.
And without it, dishwashers, bussers, host staff who barely afford minimum living expenses wouldn’t be able to do that.
I was talking about a sub-minimum wage earner tipping out another sub-minimum wage earner, but you’re absolutely right about the other staff. In fact it’s even worse with a sub-minimum wage earner paying out of pocket to the wage earner.
The whole system is rotten.
Yes but you’re forgetting that the rich Douchebags going to the world cup are deserving of being allowed to do that because checks notes “the employees they’re hurting work in the USA and therefore aren’t people because their government sucks and ours is so much better just don’t look behind the curtain or in the closet or under the rugs”
Ah, you’re right. Disregard what I said. The servers should be grateful they have the privilege of losing money due to FIFA’s patrons.
Everyone: just pay your employees a fair salary
Management: what if instead…
Tbh, this is a distraction. News channels pointing to those (few probably) pesky foreigners refusing to tip, and everyone falls for the rage bait.
America has entered the smug European fucking over the locals phase of being a third world country
Only a European could find a way to express their “progessiveism” by stiffing underpaid workers and somehow acting smug and morally superior for it, as if their shit smells like roses.
Idiots. So backwards. You tip cash, then dash.
I think it used to be that even Europeans traveling in the u.s wouldn’t like tipping culture but recognized the plight of the worker and would tip something.
The Americans have been so offensive, weak, embarrassing and completely subjugated to their own corporations that people from abroad no longer empathize with the worker. They wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for their sports game. There’s no culture to experience or anything to see.
Americans have made it clear that they refuse to stand against their brand of capitalism and the rest of us want nothing to do with it as mini versions of their bullshit get attempted elsewhere.
There’s no reason to respect or empathize with the population further. I don’t go there for anything but I wouldn’t tip anyone either or spit on them if they were on fire. We’ve run out of empathy and there has been no benefit to being kind to Americans. It’s far better to just not have them in your orbit. They won’t help themselves so why should we open our wallets.
Wow keep it up
If you can’t tip, don’t go to the restaurant or bar. Those workers depend on their tips. And the restaurant or bar isn’t just gonna make up the difference for the server just because you decided not to tip.
Those Europeans are being dicks.
