Tipping seriously does freak us out LOL

[@evelynjade42]

Tipping is a perfect example of a country founded on hard conservatism and industry rights over workers rights. There are not labour laws ensuring workers are payed enough to live off and so they require tips to live. Of course, by no means is New Zealand perfect, but at least in regards to paying workers I think we have better legislation. So probably the reason tips freak us out is because they are indicative of the people who are barely being paid by their employers. That said, I've been to America recently and pretty much everyone seemed to be lovely people and maybe we're all just being scared of a different culture.

[@torig2726]

[@WAMTAT]

[@LisaCupcake]

Tipping is a good thing. Here's an example. A friend of mine waits tables. She brings home (on average) almost $1,000 a week in tips. If some people who want wages raised had their way, she'd get no tips and her pay would be about $380 *before taxes*. That's not very much money. She'd probably need a 2nd job or have to quit hers to try to find one that paid much more (if it were possible for her to get a job that paid that much).

He's **bang-on** about tipping! I (and a lot of others in NZ) find it complicated and weird - just as he described! I will say though that pumpkin pie is goooooooood!

[@coolkid7151]

It’s just 10-20% of the bill at places like restaurants and barber shops or if you order delivery.

[@monie1527]

20% for good service. Tip zero & complain to the manager for shitty service. You're welcome. The reason for tips is because most servers earn WAY BELOW minimum wage. Sometimes only 2 or 3 bucks an hour. A "good" server will make bank in tips.

[@McPierogiPazza]

Yes, 20% for restaurants, please. Some people still use the old standard of 15%. Ten percent is low and you look cheap. It's confusing to us too when you tip bartenders, cab or Uber drivers, hair stylists and manicurists, hotel maids and some other hotel staff, and, according to TV, delivery people. Even Americans find some of this confusing and end up whispering to friends "am I supposed to leave a tip?" and "how much?". This is where 10% can be ok. Just make sure you tip your restaurant servers because they are indeed paid way below minimum wage because it's assumed they'll get tips. It's a weird system.

[@otis299]

I’m generally at 20% at a sit down place. I’ve rarely had bad service that was the waitstaff’s fault. Most busy restaurants the waitstaff and bar staff can earn over $300 in a Friday or Saturday night. If you’re a full time server, it’s not really meant to be a career. Foreign tourists have complained about the tip but rave about the service, which keeps your non-alcoholic drinks topped off and always tries to sell you another beer/wine/mixed drink.

[@MikeyGaming]

The reason Americans are so loud goes pretty deep, but I will try and make this very simple and short. Most Americans don't travel much. It's expensive. Unlike NZ and other countries where you are allowed a month off work, paid for by your government, Americans must save up money and on average, can take a week off, per year. What happens is, the typical American is isolated to the States and considers everything outside of it a "novelty", almost like a amusement park. We are also raised with the idea of America representing true "freedom". With this mentality, they don't take where they are visiting that serious and feel as if the world revolves around them, for lack of a better term. Not all of us are that way, but most are. Hope this helps!

[@ngamokai]

Government does not pay for our holidays, where do you get that from ?

[@fishranks5886]

[@thegreatinterpreter8382]

It's not an 'ego' thing; it's a practical thing. The US is so large and diverse, one can travel within her boarders and still experience a wide variety of different cultural-environments-- and they can do so at a fraction of what it would cost to travel overseas. I mean, just consider the differences between New England, the Deep South; the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest. Americans have all this diversity their own back yard. And they can enjoy it all without the need for huge flight times, passports, language barriers, and cultural shocks. Traveling in-country is the smarter move for anyone whose not filthy rich because vacationing overseas, as wonderful as it is... is NOT a good investment. You can spend like $4,000 in a week and really have nothing to show for it in the end but some pictures on your cellphone. Plus, most people end up doing exactly what they could have done vacationing domestically-- go out to eat, look at some nature, grab a cup of coffee, or go to a club. I think Americans prudently place a higher emphasis on adult things like saving money and growing their net-worth rather than throwing caution to the wind to have a good time now. In essence they make wiser decisions with their money.

[@lornaamaru799]

gretchen ortner Ummm we call the mobile home thingys/RV... camper vans or campers

Travel trailer is the US name for the NZ caravan (many call them simply trailer for short); RV is the one that's a mobile home

[@vesperlord4342]

As someone who is originally from the US, but has lived in NZ for most of his life, I noticed that for about half of the names for objects, I call them by the 'american' name, wheras for the other half, I call them by the kiwi names.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

NZ in itself seems to combine the names that US and UK have for things. US has 'fries' and 'chips', UK has 'chips' and 'crisps', so NZ just has 'chips' and chips'. (although most call the crisp ones chippies)

Don't worry, we're confused with tipping to. When I was a kid I was told 10-15% was acceptable, but now I think the standard is supposed to be 20%? What about places where gratuity is included? Are we still expected to tip? What about for delivery? HOW CAN I BE A WELL-ADJUSTED ADULT IF I DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS!?

[@gcook725]

[@icebergrose8955]

Why don't they just tell you how much you owe? Glad we don't do that, confusing system.

[@gcook725]

Iceburg Rose So that YOU decide the amount, I guess. It guess the psychological effect is that, as the end user, you control the fate of the server? But if you don't tip at least halfway decent, then you're a jerk? And if you tip excessively, then you're showing off? Some places add an automatic 20% gratuity so you don't have to though! Then they still ask for a tip...
