Re: To tip or not to tip that is the question
John S. That is my point exactly that say the bus carried thirty passengers and with a 30% tip would mean that the driver was on $1080 a trip plus his normal wage. Would only have to work two trips a week to live a bloody good life on tips alone. Same equation can be said for cruises. How the public has been conned by this yanky system beats me.
Do not tip and will be the one shouted at for not tipping but at the end of the bloody day I do not intend to use the service anymore or meet up with the person demanding a tip. As for it being a Oz thing as I recall lit is the same in the UK when I was there. I do know that they have a glass on the bar top at most pubs out here for loose change and the coins in them seem to mostly be pre decimal and not many of them either.
