美国的付小费制度近乎强制,不付小费的后果很严重,这使得即使服务质量差,顾客也感到被迫付小费。这种制度的出现与美国公司压低员工工资,导致员工收入依赖小费有关。许多人认为这种制度是不公平的,因为它对低收入人群造成经济压力,并且即使在服务质量差或无需服务的情况下(例如外卖自取),也要求付小费。此外,小费金额会随着订单金额增加而增加,即使服务质量没有变化。 然而,也有人认为付小费制度有其积极的一面。付小费可以表达对优质服务的感谢,并激励员工提供更好的服务。与特定员工建立良好关系,可以获得更好的服务。付小费也可以帮助员工获得可观的工资,弥补公司低薪的不足。最后,付小费也能带来良好的感觉,并帮助员工支付账单。 总而言之,付小费制度的优劣取决于付小费的动机,是否出于自愿和尊重。如果付小费是出于对优质服务的认可和感谢,那么它就是一件好事;但如果付小费是出于社会压力或被迫,那么它就是一种不公平的制度。

Tipping in the US feels mandatory, unlike other countries where it's a gesture of gratitude. This obligation stems from companies underpaying workers, forcing customers to supplement their income. While tipping is customary, it feels like a scam when the service is subpar.
  • Tipping is often obligatory in the US due to low wages.
  • In many countries, tipping is a small gesture of gratitude, not a requirement.
  • Customers feel scammed when forced to tip for poor service.
