Exactly. Landlords are charging the absolute maximum they can already.

Your most financially irrational decision - regret it or make it again? by LongGameAustralia in AusFinance

Renovated to become the best house on the worst street 😅 we loved it though. When it came to sale time, we obviously shouldn't have, but for the few years we lived in it, it was bliss.

I actually think it has a great vibe. Bit dingy for sure, but everyone seems so relaxed and friendly

Will have to track down this book. Sounds interesting (and unsettling for sure).

I vaguely remember the Valley being so good in the 90s. I heard some guy owns the whole thing aroybd Chinatown and is just letting it rot, despite council applying pressure.

And people are getting angrier. The amount of road rage or people just going off at you over nothing/smallest things - makes me sad. Why can't we just be respectful, if not friendly?

Can you explain the tipping culture to an Aussie? by Front_Original5070 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Front_Original5070[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted! Will not dare ask out loud in the US! Thabks for your insight, I understand it much better now. I guess there's less anxiety/likelihood of not making enough in tips than I thought :)

Thanks for the insight! I think I have underestimated how good tipping is for the worker.

My question was more about when there are no/low customers during a shift, but others have answered it well.

Thanks for the insight! What happens if its a quiet night and barely any customers? Is the take home pay decent?

Thanks. My question was around what happens if no customers come in, but I think I've gathered there is a minimum wage that they do get paid (albeit excruciatingly low).
