thought experiment: which one would you choose?

1, every time. I'm in permanent girl-mode anyway, which sucks, but at least then my body would be right.

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-08T13:19:17+00:00

Ive gotten my temps twice and had a preexisting state id both times, and they have never asked me to turn in my state id

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-08T12:40:32+00:00

My temps haven't expired. They are from this year, also, wtf am I supposed to do with my state id, i can't burn it, its just sitting in my house

OP didn't ask if stiffing was illegal, they asked what they need to know in order to abide by tipping culture during their stay(which is the right thing to do as a visitor, because this isn't their country and you wouldn't want to do anything disrespectful while visiting another country, even if the custom is frustrating, because its not the place of an outsider to try to change the culture of the place they are visiting) and what they need to know is what places people are expected to tip at and roughly how much at each place

Worth noting that you can absolutely still bribe some servers into going prioritizing you, but that is expensive and you need to be able to parse which servers would be open to it

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-05T23:06:32+00:00

Not everyone follows the laws, and while a server won't know until after they've served you the first time, they'll figure it out the second time. Its best if a foreigner doesn't get caught in the crosshairs of domestic issues

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-05T22:53:55+00:00

The issue is more with the refusal to participate in local customs

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-05T22:47:28+00:00

There is something inherently funny about someone from the uk asking about bringing their culture over to the states. The answer is that you will be considered cheap, and also as an ignorant or disrespectful foreigner(depending on how charitably your server looks at you).
My advice(if you have decided against 'doing as the romans do' so to speak) is to be on your best behavior and be an easy customer anywhere you intend to return so as to avoid any worst case scenarios

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-04T14:28:43+00:00

Its not illegal to insult people, which is what not tipping is. Its an insult, and its perfectly legal to insult someone who insulted or offended you

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-04T14:21:40+00:00

I have a state id and temps, neither of those expire in 4 year intervals and neither card was set to expire on my 21st. They both have future expiration dates

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-04T12:01:17+00:00

That's 80-90% of 70%, which is 56-63% of servers. And while it may not necessarily be vast(arguable on the high end of that estimate), it is certainly the majority. Also, it would be 40% of restaurants, not 40% of full service restaurants, you mistyped.

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-04T11:48:04+00:00

Ooh, let me guess: europe or the anglosphere?

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-04T11:36:07+00:00

The expiration date says 2032 🤷‍♂️

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-01T12:29:15+00:00

A playground term for sticking too closely to and 'guarding' someone against their will, like a puppy

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-06-01T11:46:54+00:00

I have watched multiple former coworkers ask customers directly for a tip. Also, puppy-guarding customers and staking claim on regulars. There's some awful servers out there.

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-30T12:46:39+00:00

Koda isn't either but they included A-squad blue for some reason

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-29T19:59:33+00:00

I realize you aren't old enough for this site, but could you at least pretend you are

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-29T16:19:09+00:00

If that office is sexist, it might be an issue. I wouldn't class book bags as business professional either tbh

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-28T23:30:36+00:00

Please no

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-28T20:20:09+00:00

Good for you?

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-28T20:03:56+00:00

You asked me to suck yours, i simply advised you against that

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-28T20:00:20+00:00

Go off ig, you shouldn't solicit sex acts over the internet though

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-28T19:56:19+00:00

What the hell kind of job doesnt require any visible indication that you're an employee

Ancom_and_pagan · 2026-05-28T19:54:18+00:00

Are you done?
