I dislike going out to eat as an American. It’s sad to force tips onto the customer when prices are already out of control. Oh, and one more thing to prove how behind WE Americans are compared to the rest of the world; Why can’t prices just be exactly what needs to be paid. Instead, there’s always taxes and possibly gratuity. If my Steak says $30 it shouldn’t be $43 after taxes etc. But again, WE are Americans — hard to change stupid.
