In Croatia, we survive mostly because of tourism. Yet I promise you, you won't find ONE fucking bar or a restoraunt where tipping is a thing. If a hamburger is 20 Croatian kunas, you pay 20 fucking Croatian kunas. The server gets paid by his employer.
So tell me, Sup Forums. What other countries have this cancerous system? I thought only Americans were this stupid, but I didn't expect it from my fellow nazi neighbour.
You aren't required to tip in America its just custom to. If you don't want to you don't have to, although its rude unless your service was bad
Connor Brown
>turkoslav calling itself nazi
your brown skin cost you that
Caleb Lee
Does your insult include the tip or?
Carson Garcia
They only do this with foreigners though. They think they are all very rich and don't care about getting ripped off enough to bother. Also it doesn't happen everywhere but it's quite frequent. As a rule of thumb, avoid the places that have someone standing outside inviting people in only in English. These places usually serve traditional Hungarian stuff.
Robert Lee
The sad thing is I believe you. A lot of hyenas try to rip off tourists in Budapest. Hence it should be avoided at all costs, what with it being a fucking shithole.
Next time tell them you'll call the police and report them for fraud, they'll instantly change their attitude.
Grayson Bailey
Is tipping a thing only around the capital? The day before I paid for coffe and waited to get the bill and the change since I gave the waiter
>Water not served with caffeine >Ask for water, get WARM bottled water >Ask for internet password, get excuses >Never get the bill unless I demand it. >No waiter knows German or English
Racing out of Hungary I stopped at Nagykanizsa which had no tipping and had atleast 5 open internet hotspots. And imagine, almost everyone spoke English, German and even a bit Croatian.
Gavin Thomas
>The day before I paid for coffe and waited to get the bill and the change since I gave the waiter too much money. Its not untill I asked for the change directly, he gave it to me. Did he expect that that was his tip?*
Fix'd, forgot to finish the sentence.

I'd say the most outrageous tourist robbing places exist in the capital and around lake Balaton. These establishments will get enough customers even if no individual one ever returns. The standard tip is 10%, it's not quasi-obligatory like in the US but it's nice to pay it if you had satisfying table service. I don't know what you mean that you don't get the bill unless you demand it, is this not the case everywhere? Or do you mean that you don't get a printed proper bill when you want to pay? Because that's a criminal offense not to give you one.
Levi Allen
>Or do you mean that you don't get a printed proper bill when you want to pay? Because that's a criminal offense not to give you one.
Exactly this. No cafee shop or restoraunt would hand me the bill. I'd have no idea I'd been paying for their tips if I didn't ask for the reciept.
Christian Smith
>2500 HUF wtf why even care?
Owen Williams

Lucas Myers
Because I'm not paying miss-i-speak-german-but-i-can't-muster-a-word that expects me to reward her for carrying my order for 2 meters and taking my dish away without asking me. I bet these practices are there because there will always be people dumb like you to just throw away your money.
William Robinson
Fuck those places. If you recorded that with a camera I think you could sue them for that but I'm not at all sure. It's probably not worth the hassle anyway. Sorry to hear about your negative experience with our country, I hope you enjoyed your time here regardless.
Bentley Thomas
>The standard tip is 10%, it's not quasi-obligatory like in the US but it's nice to pay it if you had satisfying table service.
No. You should never ever pay tip. Waiters get their salary from their boss as it should be. If they want more money, they can go and ask for a fucking raise like everybody else.
Logan White
You can come to Spain, we don't have that shit. Avoid overpriced places for stupid tourists and everything will be fine.
Asher Williams
was she qt?
Joseph Gray
I'm dissapointed with the capital, but I did have a good time in a certain restoraunt. The waiter was a chill dude who spoke 10/10 English and and entrusted him to choosefor me one of the best Hungarian beers and I loved it, along with the food. I'm strongly against tipping, but hell I'd tip that dude twice if I knew it in advance.
Joshua King
This happens everywhere. Usually the restaurants/cafes near to a turist hotspot are shit and fucking expensive.
James Young
I went to croatia last summer. Went to a restaurant and ordered a dish for 74 kunos the waiter gave me back a 100 kunos lmao
Isaiah Phillips
Meh Budapest is all right, people are nice, food is awesome and I had no prob running around with 500eu in HUF around the west end city centre buying whatever I wanted without anyone trying to rip me off.
Anthony Collins

Justin Lee
75 is nothing if going to restaurant lol
Jordan Garcia
Compulsory service fees are not a thing in Hungary, they ripped you off because you're a foreigner and Hungarian restaurant owners are slimy thieving fucks.
What's the name of the place? I feel it's review time.
Henry Smith
How big was da bizza?
Lucas Allen
Don't they know Croatia is a poor shithole? They couldn't tell OP isn't white?
Matthew Martinez
Bretty big, the price was almost the same as in Croatia. Food was good, but the service was terrible.
Levi Martin
You were scammed. There are some places, where they include tip in the bill, but then it's usually only 10%, not 25%. This isn't a common practise whatsoever btw. You managed to pick a dodgy place, bad luck.
Jack Rogers
I would never pay more for a fucking pizza, dumb cuckholm fag.
Dominic King
Why is Vienna in Czechia?

Could've been so much worse. There are places where they charge 3-4x the usual from foreigners.

Bentley King
We're not particularly white either, my Somali friend.
Oliver Thompson
A lot of Hungarians who speak a few sentences of a language already consider themselves being able to speak that language because compared to the majority who don't speak a goddamn sentence, they already have something to brag about. Often their bosses will speak even less, so they don't know or care that they hired a retard.
Easton Ramirez
If you want beer to the pizza it will cost 65kr :^)
Blake Garcia
>southeast wut?
Gabriel Hall
fuck off, according to genetics 90% of hungarian males are direct descendents of 12 Europeans who lived here 3000, 10000, and 20000 years ago.
Luke Peterson
not too bad still >beer costs almost as much as the pizza damn
Jacob Bell

Nathan Edwards
Are you retarded?

Justin Campbell
Feel free to google it Sven. The original Hungarians who came in the 800's were asian genetically, but they died off, and by 1000 A.D. Hungary was entirely populated by Europeans - who now spoke a meme language.
Matthew Clark
You're in no position to laugh, Sven... or should I say Mehmet?

Lincoln Carter
This has happened to me as well in Budapest, they tried to charge me a "service fee" or whatever the hungarian equivalent is.
They spoke neither neither English nor German so I just stood up and started yelling at them in German. It worked and I had to pay the normal price. They just want to rip off confused tourists.
Adrian Lopez
its funnier under french flag and its from 7. to 26. so 4 days more
Ryder Jenkins
>How long is that vacation of yours? And why are you shitposting so much while vacationing?
Was gonna stay there 3 days with friends, but all got pissed off and just bailed back to Croatia on our 2nd day in the morning. I'm home for several hours now.
Nobody speaks English/German, nobody wants to help you out and everyone wants to jew you out of your money. I don't find Hungary bad, but the capital is real cancer.
Matthew Barnes
While the ripping off part is true, some restaurants do include service fees generally. I go for lunch sometimes to a restaurant near my workplace and they include service fee even for daily lunch menu.
Noah Campbell
So anywhere south of Sundsvall then?
Luis Morris
yeah hungary does have a reputation of not speaking foreign languages
Cameron Murphy
Here,
Please leave my country Mehmet
Eli Ramirez
Really?
Well whatever, it's clearly a ripoff. I'm not paying that.
Grayson Cooper
Wait, is it common for Hungarians to speak German?
Logan Barnes
I wouldn't know about that. English and German are kinda international languages. They're both taught in our schools so I figured I'd use 'em to communicate with Hungarians, but no wail.
Josiah Evans
It's the most common spoken foreign language (at least it was a few years ago)
Jason Walker
Even more common than English? That's really nice, I like Hungary even more now
I never thought about German being an international language
Anthony Miller
It isn't, but I find it second-to-go language in case English isn't an option. I think the rest of the world would sooner understand you in German rather that Arabic or Brasilian
Jonathan Johnson
English is far more common and has been for a long while
In every nation in central europe german is usually the third language, while english i mandatory in school, most schools pick german as the second language to be taught (in some shcools you can pick yourself i guess but most people pick german because usefulness)
David Ortiz
I've been to both (Balatonfüred and Trogir respectively) and tbf the latter is much more expensive from the start. 0.5 beer cost about €1.50 vs €4 respectively. No servicecharges in either place though
Ryan Long
People pick German because it's the easiest to pass
Joshua Morales
This happens surprisingly lot in the Balkans
went to buy some shit with like 300 RSD
bought juice and some chocolates went to pay, gave 200RSD, she gave me back 250
Went home with 350RSD, a coke and a chocolate for free + 50 RSD tip
Owen Sanchez

Parker Perez
you cant compare those 2 comparing shitty lake with an island just the fees for the transporting will rise the price,not to mention exclusiveness and shit
Elijah Williams
I don't think german is easier to learn as a second language in school than russian(i'm talking about central europe) That goes for slavs ofc
Brandon Bennett
it's not a tip you're just getting ripped off because you're a dumb foreigner
Jaxson Murphy
True, but such is the case for swedes that have to pick a language

Never saw this service fee shit before, and I do frequent restaurants. Not in Budapest though, its an overpriced shithole. Dunakanyar is the place to be.

pic related, Yugoslav dinar in 1993
Yes, you are seeing that correctly it is a 500 billion dinars bill.
Though to be fair, we were at war and under sanctions from the entire world.
Xavier Howard
why does it happen often do you think?
Alexander Hall
It's been legal since mid-2000s. Was meant to bring tip out of the gray zone for taxation purposes.
Jason Flores
Those fucking glasses
That fucking sum
Landon Clark
People don't really care.
If the cashier screws up it's not coming out of her pay, she doesn't give a fuck.
Plus in bigger stores people frequently leave metal coins like 1-2 rsd of change ignore it, so even if someone screws up you frequently earned more than you should have.
Eli Williams
Well it was one of the better places of either cunt, compared to what we drove to before so IMO the comparison is fair Also the island is like 100m from the mainland and connected by bridge, so not really way out. I bet Split and Dubrovnik are even more expensive
