Aethien:
Wait, Germans tip?

I mean, we kinda sorta tip here, but not much. Usually it's just rounding it up a bit.

Loki:
I am actually not really sure what is appropriate when having stuff delivered, but weather was a bitch to drive through, and I was really glad to finally get my damn pizza.

Normally, when eating out, I tip 10% and round up to the next Euro (or sometimes to the next 50ct). That usually comes out as roughly 15-20% actually, now that I think about it. (6€ + 0.60€ + rounding = 7€ = 6€*1.16666...=6€+16%.)

Aethien:
I usually tip a euro or two, depends on the situation.

I've tried tipping more at the Beer Temple in Amsterdam though but the barkeepers are too fast with entering the bill for my inebriated brain to deal with and I pretty much always pay with debit card.
It's hard not to drink 6 or 7 beers there and after that it tends to get a little difficult to do math.

dr. nervioso:
So the last two weeks have been rough. Some of my friends were in a car crash (they're all fine, but it was pretty scary, I had three tests, and right before spring break started last week, I learned that I did not get the RA position. I've been stuck at home with nothing to do but homework that I can't really do because I don't have a laptop. So I've been thinking a lot, which really isn't good based on the events going on lately. I don't want to be big and famous.  I don't care about being an overachiever anymore. I just can't do it,every time I try to get All As or anything above a 3.5 GPA, I fail. All I want is to live my life. I don't think I want to be a science major, I've lost so much of my creativity the past three years. I do t know if I want to be some socially awkward science person or an outgoing artist type.
And now I have so much homework To do, but I don't have the willpower to do it

Sorry for the rant guts, I needed to vent

Thrillho:
I tip if you do an incredible job, because in this country the tipping culture is not ingrained into wage structures like it is in the US. If you are just a good waiter/tress, then I don't tip, because fuck it that's your job that you get paid to do.
