Keeping cool

@chrisw333 @DFrankcom It's traditional, different culture in the States

@Clembo1957 @DFrankcom A dollar per drink at the bar is absolutely nuts. Even more nuts when there's already a service charge.

The tipping culture in America never fails to baffle me I won’t lie. A pint is around $9 (just under £7) which includes an 18.75% service charge (so around $7.50 for the actual pint itself, which isn’t too dissimilar to UK prices) and I’m fine with that. But then they give you a pen with the receipt to write an extra tip on and it’s so bloody awkward. So many questions going through my mind every time. What do you want me to do here? What was the 18.75% for? Are you not getting paid by the hour? How much are you getting of that service charge? How much more are you expecting? Do I look a tight bastard if I just do $1 more? I’d say I’m a very generous bloke too with my time and my money but it’s just mind-blowing stuff how this is a normality. Can’t beat just buying 3 pints in the UK (well Europe, let’s be honest) in a pub for around 18quid… and just giving a 20sheet to the barman and letting them keep the change 🍻

@DFrankcom I get your point that you're paying a tip on top of a service charge, if you want to tip as well it's optional. Personally I'd just leave a dollar bill per drink on the bar even if paying by card. And not so much of the little

@Clembo1957 That’s why you took the time to reply eh Sad little boy

@DFrankcom No. It was shit

@Clembo1957 You didn’t read any of the actual post did you

Does anybody from the Kingstanding area of Birmingham recognise this fella? He stole a lion statue from the front of my nans house at 8:45pm on Friday. It's more than just a lion statue though, as it was bought by my late grandad who sadly passed in January. Any information about this bloke is appreciated. Please share, repost, anything you can to push the post and get him recognised and get the statue returned. #Birmingham #theft #stolen #crime #police
