How do you manage that...? College here is $21,000 a year and I'm positive I couldn't afford that without a part-time job. |
eh my college is significantly less, but I haven't paid a penny out of pocket due to grants and scholarships. fastweb.com is also a great place to get a quick 500 dollars (they give tons of scholarships). tbh i think i make money going to college with all the extra money (none of which has to be paid back)
That makes good sense, NJ5. I got no problem with that - and, more, cultural expectations vary from place to place. In Chinese culture it's not expected that diners leave gratuity either, which took some adjusting to on my part when my wife and I first started going out to get genuine Chinese food, and that's cool! There are different expectations that result in different methods of payment.
In the US, it's not possible to live by waiting tables unless you receive tips.
Edit: My wife informs me that even though one doesn't tip in Taiwan or China, you do tip in Chinese places in Canada, and I am remembering incorrectly. We may have had a disagreement about how much to tip.

Ah yeah those...being a middle class white male it's nearly impossible for me to get either. 19 (yes, nineteen) rejections and I graduated with a 4.40 
. That's a completely different topic in itself so I'll stop as not to derail this thread.

I would definitely tip if I lived in the US. But at the same time I'd probably be wishing that these customs changed. I like to know my costs just by looking at the price table ;)

Oh and additionally I always tip cash even though i more ofthen then not pay with credit.
A lot of places if you pay by credit and tip by credit take the transaction fee cost out of the tip.
People very rarely tip in Australia, I don't tip ever.

Hey, completely fair. It's a bit obtuse and unwieldy, but.... eh. Work with what you've got.
Anyway, one question about not being able to live by serving tables... What about all the other minimum wage earners who don't get tips? How do those survive?

It depends on the quality of service.

exactly. If they do terrible, i may tip them a middle finger, but if they do good, i will tip between 12-15%
