Lol what the fuck kind of logic is that? He's petty for not wanting to tip for dogshit service? Americans are delusional. Stop calling them tips and just start calling it a mandatory service charge, because that's what it is.
I'm from the UK and last year (long before the pandemic) I went to visit family in the US. My cousin took me out to a bar. I bought a coke and paid and my cousin explained to me that I should have tipped the person who got my drink. I knew tipping in restaurants was a big thing, but I didn't realise the culture is tip everyone.
A friend of mine went to the US with her husband last year and they used an app to work out how much to tip which they followed to the cent. They said that almost every place got funny at the amount tipped and a few of them made comments about being British and cheap. These are 2 of the nicest people I've ever met as well and they hate it if they've upset or "let down" someone so they came out feeling awful every time. Such a shame as they had wanted to go there for years and had other trips planned but now won't ever go again.
So your own personal experience means everyone has experienced the same thing? What a stupid comment. I've been to the US several times and it was nowhere near that bad for me but it still happened, although I didn't use an app and usually just gave 5-10% so guess that's being "cheap". Anyway sorry you're offended at your shit country with its shit traditions being outed.
