    This is a product of the myriad of unconfigured PoS systems. If you just Google shit you’re supposed to tip for before going into a country, you should be good to go. It’s the same thing I do when I travel. While I do agree that the tipping culture sucks, I think it’s more rude as a visitor to completely ignore social norms and constructs.

    Travelers who aren’t tipping are just stiffing a waiter who is working their ass off during the busiest time for their establishment and probably making that person sour on whatever country they’re from. I can’t realistically see how this path leads to meaningful change or righteousness.
