YUROP
Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

As much as I agree on principle, its also pretty detestably asinine to travel to another country and take a stand on their social system by punishing the random employee that served you a meal
Do you think the restauranteur who doesnt pay an adequate wage gives a fuck if you tip their employee? They arent negatively affected at all. If they really wanted to make a point that impacted the person with some control they could just eat somewhere else that paid people fairly. Instead, theyre being assholes to some random person trying to survive living in Kansas City or wherever on a $10 an hour wage in this economy. Thats a dick move, plain and simple
I'm afraid you are the wrong one here. Do you think managers stop underpaying if all the people continue tipping? And stepping up is exactly what to do. And furthermore: Stop visiting these restaurants.
They do, actually. Many of them have started putting a mandatory 20% tip on the bill to pay to employees.
Not tipping isn't a punishment. A tip is a bonus. Americans should probably stop being insufferable cucks.
Point is, you are punishing the victims of the system, not the perpetrators.
Aren't the employers the ones punishing the servers? Again, why is the customer being framed as the perpetrator for refusing to pay a literal optional fee? For refusing to enable an abusive business practice?
Point is, there is simply no bonus for simply getting the job done. There is no punishment. Get out of your bubble
you often only find out after already having eaten what you ordered
Nah letβs let some other countries do some cultural imperialism for a change. Weβve had our turn.
I get your point, but even for US citizens I support taking a stand against the tipping system.
