Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]

    It’s all relative but housing in Germany is pretty cheap as a percentage of income compared to most western countries

        The place that, despite being by far the most expensive in Germany, has rents half those in London? Lower than Paris but with much higher wages? Thanks for proving my point.
