I've been to Rome and when in Rome you tip. Also it is customary for Americans to tip everywhere. It's what we do and it's expected of us as it should be.

"The owners of the kosher restaurant in Rome's Jewish Ghetto – a historic quarter in the centre of the city – were surprised when Mr Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chanwalked away without leaving a gratuity.

Waiters at Nonna Betta, which specialises in Roman Jewish cuisine, were amazed by Mr Zuckerberg's parsimony, not just because of his huge wealth but because of Americans' reputation for tipping generously, as is expected of them at home."

I've been to Italy never tipped eating out, I've had waiters tell me its not requested from foreigners because gratuity is often times included normally charged as a dine in fee and a service fee. The only tips that were given were hotel services. Just because you're American doesn't make it customary. A tip is a privilege not something you deserve. Just because you feel the need to tip doesn't mean I should.

I tip everybody everywhere. I do it because I'm an American. These waiters obviously expected a tip and were peeved they didn't receive one. I tip even when it's not customary because that's what Americans do. Customary or not it's embarrassing and I myself couldn't show my face after not tipping a waiter. Whether it's expected imo is besides the point; it is definitely appreciated.

Tipping is for the birds, bro !

Why are we getting so heated over whether or not tipping is customary in the FB thread?

Seriously.....

Not even a big deal.

But look how evil he is! Somebody in some restaurant that nobody can confirm or deny said he did not tip

Seriously man, he has an Asian wife, do you know how expensive those things are? He better hold onto his money!

wow

Nothing to discuss about FB so we're talking about tipping. lol

I agree with Big Shurl and I would be embarrassed if I didn't tip although on a very rare occasion I don't when the service has been a very bad experience and it's my way of suggesting that they need to find a different line of work. Poor service gets 10%, good service gets 15% and exceptional service gets 20% or more.

I don't know about other countries but at most places in America tips are figured as part of the wage. Maybe not always fair to the worker because some people are tight wads but it does encourage them to provide good service.

I also always tip unless the service is terrible

You should go to Europe and tell them you are American. Guaranteed terrible service and possibly spit in your food.

Zucks was not being cheap, he just did not like the service! lol
