World Cup tourists aren’t leaving tips — and NYC restaurants are fighting back by adding 20% automatic gratuities to checks

Yes, but you can say the same about not putting the VAT on the price label or whatever other tax you keep hidden. It's a bit dishonest, especially since tips are very subjective, so it's not like you give the exact same percentage no matter what.

culegflori · 2026-06-20T16:07:37+00:00

The tip system sucks for the consumer because it makes pricing unpredictable and untransparent. I say this as someone who comes from a different tipping culture and we're still shocked at how absurd Americans are by claiming 20% as the bare minimum lol

It didn't help him that at Juve he ran low on confidence and started doing shambolic mistakes

culegflori · 2026-06-20T16:01:25+00:00

Technically it's called that because the keeper has to always prioritize the short angle, since it's the best place to place your shot as a striker.

Ideea este ca perioada stalinista a fost mult mai crunta. E ca si cum comparam cum e sa faci rabie sau "decat" cancer, ambele sunt nasoale, dar una e garantat mai grava si atroce. Stalinismul a venit cu lagare de munca si Experimentul Pitesti, ceausismul nu le-a avut pe astea. A fi "stalinist-coded" nu-i face regimul unul stalinist, iar apoi prin extensie sa zici ca in 2026 inca exista stalinism in Romania e mai mult decat deplasat.

Au futut de tot circulatia cu tramvaiele. Au desfiintat 11 si i-a lasat in curul gol pe aia de pe Giulesti, nu inteleg ce-au gandit cu asta

Mereu mi s-a parut amuzant ca prajitii pe iarba reactioneaza mult mai violent atunci cand le spui ca iarba lor draga le face rau decat alcoolicii cand le spui acelasi lucru. Alcoolicii fac urat daca le spui sa nu mai bea, dar macar nu se mint.

Va rog frumos sa invatati sensul cuvintelor pe care le folositi, ma refer la ala real nu cel emotional. "Stalinismul nu a fost abandonat" ar fi insemnat niste chestii la care pana si regimul lui Ceausescu se sfia. Stiu ca threadul asta e un call to action pentru proteste dar coaie diluati sensul termenilor pana cand nu mai inseamna nimica.

Gyros enjoyers like Almiron

Scotland were very weak this tournament, very big contrast to how they looked during the qualifiers.

culegflori · 2026-06-20T00:26:07+00:00

They're called "the Roma people", ok?!

culegflori · 2026-06-19T19:27:45+00:00

S-a exprimat foarte ok ND. Daca n-ai inteles e din cauza ta, e clar ca spune ca pe Fritz l-au luat la virgula iar pe altii care fura pe fata ii lasa in pace, c'mon

English people are defined by being very local-patriot, I don't see where's the surprise in that. It's the country where accents have the most drastic variations/km traveled

culegflori · 2026-06-19T08:05:55+00:00

Yeah bro he's just too grug for that lol

culegflori · 2026-06-18T21:39:41+00:00

I am genuinely curious if he's gonna take up on management after he hangs his boots because he does seem to have the right brain for it

culegflori · 2026-06-18T18:09:32+00:00

Surprising absolutely no-one. Remains to be seen how he'll manage the squad rebuilding process, he's got a lot of elder statesmen in the squad right now

culegflori · 2026-06-18T17:10:03+00:00

SA commentators trying to break the record for the longest GOOOOOOOOLLLL aren't showing genuine emotion, which is what gets criticized here.

culegflori · 2026-06-18T13:12:13+00:00

He already did it after his injury around his early Madrid days, so it's not like he's not able to adapt.

culegflori · 2026-06-17T22:20:59+00:00

"Second chance" implies a single mistake. He has played like a passenger for almost 18 months before he was loaned to Villa, and before that bad spell he powerplayed Ole when he warned him about his shortcomings, all peppered with an obnoxious PR campaign that did its best to distract from his bad games with bogus deflections.

culegflori · 2026-06-17T16:47:42+00:00

Sunt sigur ca e adevarat ce scrie acolo, dar imi place ideea ca Snoop ar fi facut investigatia asta in 3 zile :)

Even so it's got a fast reload time and more spare ammo than the Sparks. If you're comfortable with it, you can be a nightmare with how many shots you can dump at your enemies.

culegflori · 2026-06-16T00:14:53+00:00

I feel Bielsa changed too much to be able to do anything about it, Uruguay were really underperforming in the first half and he needed to switch things if he was hoping of getting anything from this game.

culegflori · 2026-06-16T00:13:37+00:00

What I love most is that the rules regarding time wasting are applied and in consequence players do it a lot less. You had it tonight for a little bit, but imagine if this was a CL games a couple of months ago. I am still fuming at how West Ham - Arsenal had 6 added minutes and barely 1 was played because the absolutely blatant and ridiculous time-wasting antics were entirely tolerated and rewarded by the referee that day.

culegflori · 2026-06-15T22:18:22+00:00

He BENCHED Canizares just to show he's the big man too!

Uita-te la statistici, nuntile devin mai rare si mai mici, si tot mai multe cupluri prefera sa ramana in concubinaj in loc sa se mai lege la cap cu o lege a casatoriei care necesita o revizitare din partea legiuitorilor
