Proper businesses adapt. But Americans are so stuck in their self-explotationary system that instead they say “fuck off” to guests like you do. And then complain that no guests are coming.
I would most certainly not go anywhere ever again where the tip made the stay emotionally awkward or frustrating.
Americans want tourists? Then they need to adapt to tourists. Or they do not want tourist revenue. Simple.
My tipping expectation:
10% to 15% tip if the service was good. Not polite good by default, but rather only if it was perceived as truly good. And OPTIONAL. If it was self service or machine service then no fucking tip.
