Shawna: 我发现美国的小费文化非常普遍,但也很让人困惑。即使是美国人自己,也不确定什么时候应该给小费。现在越来越多的地方要求给小费,尤其是在使用手机支付时,这让人感到为难。在餐馆,通常给税前价格的15%到20%的小费。在一些州,服务员的工资低于最低工资标准,他们非常依赖小费来维持生计。我不赞同顾客需要额外支付服务员的工资。我对打包外卖是否应该给小费感到困惑,我认为在零售商店要求小费是不合理的。 Liz: 我通常会给20%的小费,因为我认为服务员工作很辛苦,而且我也负担得起。如果AA制后,有人不付小费,就相当于偷了其他人的钱。不付小费会让整个群体看起来很糟糕,服务员也会感到被欺骗。我通常会给外卖订单小费,因为我知道有人在餐厅准备食物并打包,即使他们已经拿到了较高的工资。如果我去餐厅取外卖,我会给餐厅员工小费,否则小费只会给送餐司机。如果提前支付了包含小费的价格,但服务很糟糕,顾客可能会觉得不值得。
