What is something about another culture than your own that you like?
Replying to @ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml
Tipping culture, the lack of it everywhere but the US seemingly. Tips as a substitute for wages is awful. In the US servers are paid inadequately without tipping and so a culture of tipping is the norm.

Meh, lots of that exists in Canada and mexico as well, unfortunately

It’s not quite the same in Canada, though. Even when we used to have a different minimum wage for tipped workers, it was only a couple dollars per hour less than regular minimum wage. As far as I know, servers are now paid the same minimum wage as everyone else here. I’ve seen people say that server minimum wage in the US can be like $2 an hour.

Sure, but last time I bought a bread in Vancouver I had the option to tip 18, 20, or 25%, or nothing
So I click nothing and deal with the looks. I’m sorry, not sorry, tipping is just abusive
