as an indian, i'm deeply offended. just kidding.
we are cheap, and yes it's definitely a cultural thing to an extent. apparently, some
of us will even argue over some inexpensive retail shit at the checkout counter. "why is this $8.99?
can i have it for $3.99?"
which is loltastic.
having been raised here, i'm not quite like that, but i am fucking poor. oh, and also a miserable cunt.
but i usually tip around 20%, could be as low as 15%, or up around 25-30%. if the service is really bad, they deserve zero. that's rare,
but totally legit. only a worthless, entitled cunt would complain that you left no tip in that situation. of course,
that explains why you got bad service in the first place.
