    I’m not a fan of tipping culture, even though it might not be a popular view.

    Back in Australia, tipping was seen as a bit rude, except for maybe letting the pizza delivery person keep the change.

    I believe bosses should pay fair wages and set prices accordingly, instead of relying on customers to make up the difference.

    Tipping just helps maintain the low wages for servers in America, which I find pretty unfair.

    And tipping for non-server roles?

    Well, you can probably guess my thoughts on that.

    Kind of but not really.

    Lounges officially don’t want the expectation of tips.

    I assume that means no tipped wage.

    Still a nice thing to do.

    Stop by the ATM.

    I never tip at airport lounges out of principle.

    You are paying for a ticket and the lounge is a service included in the ticket, so there shouldn’t be any extra tipping required.

    We don’t tip the flight attendants, pilots, check-in staff, or luggage staff.

    Nor do we tip the workers at Mcdonald’s at the airport.

    Some people do tip at the bar in the airport lounge and sometimes there is a jar for tips.

    But it is not required and I personally never do.

    A basic rule of thumb is if they don’t bring you a bill, then it is all sort of included in the price.

    If they bring you a bill for the food or drink, then you should tip.

    For sit-down dining, I feel it is.

    Not necessarily as much as you would at a restaurant since it’s not the same model but it is still a hard job
