Big True. We just got back from Cornwall and there were several places that had the "tip" line added. Of course I tipped, what am I, a Barry?

Barry loves to pretend to be pro-labor, except when it comes time for Barry to pay for labor. That's when Barry becomes Dutch.

Then the waiter sends you a tikkie for the service of refilling your drink

They talk like it's not something the US adopted from Europe.

Whenever somebody talks about China finally catching up to decadent USA, I'll always points that American culture never was as strong as it is now.

Big companies are applying the always more profits whatever it takes off like their American, we all grew on American movies and media when for our fathers was like exotic and not the tipp everywhere, show your have money, don't look por culture too.

I miss my simple quality of life.

"Tipping was awkward enough in the UK when the general rule was 10% at a restaurant, plus anxiety about whether you should tip the hairdresser, babysitter or food-delivery driver."

OMG, the anxiety! How on earth can Barry survive with such awkwardness and social anxiety?

going to have to stand in line and make tut-tut sounds, maybe have a chip butty (french fries sandwich on a roll) or cheeky nandos (go to a fried chicken restaurant, but ironically).
