Romanians are criticizing more and more that they are asked to leave a tip in various places, from restaurants to services, given that frequently the quality of the services leaves to be desired, and those who will reward have a professional behavior.

A broad discussion related to the fact that the Romanians were taken to give a tip was born on a Reddit group, entitled Casualro, who has hundreds of thousands of members. And many people have reported various cases in which they were asked for tip.
“It seems to me that I actually went crazy as a nation with the tip. high banknote).wrote an internet on Reddit.
The same user also gave two examples of recent cases that caused him to give in the future only to people who really deserve.
The first case. The man ordered the furniture and paid in advance and delivery to the house. Only the supplies arrived with the furniture, put him to sign the papers and left the boxes with furniture in the lobby of the block, then left: “I waited and waited, believing that they went to bring any more boxes, but in fact they had left everything and left me with about 200 kg of furniture on the hall of the block. The miseries of people. You realize that if they saw the bra, they would do their job, and maybe they were going.”
The second case happened at a party, in a premises, when the one ordered and paid directly to the bar two tonic ginses, which he paid almost 100 lei, when the girl from the bar asked what tip she leaves.
“When I tell her I don’t leave a tip, he does a face as if I just swore her mother and shake her eyes. I was cut off all the instant head. Now I only leave tips very rarely, in people who deserve it. I do not leave because “it is done”. And before you jump in my head that you lament that you cannot live without tips: it is not my responsibility, as a customer, to subsidize your life. I also have invoices to pay, just like you. You are not entitled to receive tips just because you do the work for which you are already paid to do it. You want more tips, it’s simple – better services, better attitudes. You are not satisfied with the salary? Ask for an enlargement or change your job. You cannot do a job that any illiterate can do and have the claim to be paid well ”the man tells.
Another user on Reddit said that it was recently to do the ITP, and the employee there at the end: “And if you want to leave a beer …”
“I leave the tip only to the premises where I go periodically, because the food is excellent and the waiters already know me.a woman replied.
“I will give more tip when the quality of the food reaches its price.”
Another Internet is of the opinion that Romania is a country with restaurants and mediocre bars with swollen pump prices: “I will give a tip when the owners no longer try to sell me a bottle of 15 lei with 100 and when the quality of the food reaches its price, until then I am convinced that as things are doing and without tip. “
A Romanian who works as a taxi driver in Barcelona also said that he is as professional whether or not he receives a tip: “I try to do my job as good as I can. If you leave me tip, thank you if it doesn’t leave me, the same. The tip is a thanks for a well -done service, not something mandatory.”
A young woman from Bucharest criticized the fact that the procedure regarding the tip in the premises was changed. Specifically, before everyone could leave the tip as much as it is appropriate. Now, on the other hand, the tip is passed in different percentage on the payment note: “I came to the moment to leave much rarer and much less tip than before because it seems to me a donkey.”.
A Romanian living in Craiova told Reddit that at a vulcanization and was asked for a much larger amount than he had expected and asked for a fiscal receipt. And there he found that the employee of the vulcanization had added a tip in the amount of 50% of the value of the service provided.
“You have an entire operation” in the back “that prepares, deliver, arrange a preparation and the waiter only deliver you at the table, but he has a tip claims. I do not know if he reaches him or divides it with the rest of the team. Simply, I avoid restaurants and that is”wrote another person.
A man who recently took dinner in a restaurant in the center of Bucharest reported the unpleasant experience: “There was nothing wow at serving but not terrible. Everything ok to say so. I ask, I say I pay with the card and the waiter comes with the POS and he looks over my head while talking to me, he tells me:” Well, tell me if it was all right and how much we put: 10%? ” This aggressive thing with the man in the situation seems to me all the embarrassment.
“The lifeguard, the fireman or the paramedic give him a tip?”
Other Romanians explained why they don’t leave a tip:“When the firefighter comes to extinguish your fire, you give it a tip? Or the ambulance … that they are cute, right? Or the lifeguard, or the beetry that sells 10 house eggs in the stall … Each has a salary, does not like it, looking elsewhere, those who are committed and if they come out.”
A similar post also had the user forcebulky456: “What do we think about the little ones who work legally and do not ask for a tip? The bus driver, the paramedic who helps you when you are in acute heart failure, the teacher who teaches in class 1, the lady/gentleman who cleanses toilets at your place?
A man also came with proposals related to this problem.
“If the waiter X finds a better job, the number of workers who are based on tips does not decrease because another will take his place. The problem is a systemic one and must be treated by systemic solutions. The cause: Misery employers who put the tips as a benefit, paying employees to black or gray on a minimum on the economy, promising the perspective of a tip. unsustainable, which is based only on slavery and the mercy of the customers.wrote the man on Reddit.
