If it did ( which it has before ) i would say something! Cant be done with bribery because at the end of the day thats what it is. 

Wouldn't work in Europe as we don't toletate Q Jumpers 
 
In fact wouldn't matter where it was if i was waiting and someone got served before me i would say something 

No you're ok!! 
Unlike you i do put thought into it and also have respect for those already waiting in line before me! 
Thats one thing money can't buy...self respect

So what happens if everyone in front of you is also flashing the cash? You're at the end off the line waiting! 
If bar tender ignores me to go serve others i tell bar tender that there are other people waiting before them. I have then let others go infront of me so i get different bar tender then i make a show of handing them a 10 or 20 ( heres what you could have won) hey you got $1 but you could have got a lot more if you done your job properly 
If bar tender continues to serve q jumper first i will and have raised issue with F&B manager and told bar tender to expect negative feedback in questionaire! 

Isn’t this just a form of bribery 🤣

Doesn't have to be above €70, every country is different. 
You can only make a claim as long as you get a special receipt for vat claim back.
 

Can understand that, in an article during lockdown waiters and waitresses in NYC were complaining because the were not getting money, in most cases it was over 100k USD per year

DUIND = Drunk Under the Influence No Disembarkation 🤣

Can we put this lie to bed once and for all? 
Europeans DO tip just not to the same extent as in the US! 
There are a number of factors for this
1 : Europe pays better wages to staff meaning we don't have to put 16,18 or 20 % tip expected on receipts 
2 : We tip for the service we receive not because it's expected
3 : we tip for quality 
4 : we tip what we like even just the coins in our change or we round up or leave a good tip ! Theres no expectation on us to tip anything but the majority do and any extra staff get is a bonus and appreciated.

I hate that this a generalization.
It should be they don't rely on tips to live like in the USA.
I still stand by the notion that tipping is personal and that there are a ton of lies involved.

I was going to try Pats back in March, however after walking from the station to the Rocky Statue then down to The Liberty Bell my missus decided enough walking had been done 😆 
Did have a Philly Cheesecake in Con Murphy's but can't imagine it would be of the same standard as Pats or Genos. 

Crew use tips for when they go onshore. Whilst onshore they can also wire any extra cash back home through western union or similar money transfer company.
 

Agreed
 
Fact is anyone can sit behind a keyboard and say the tip X to the room steward and Y for every drink! Who's to say its not BS? 
If anyone wants to tip extra then it should be a personal thing between them and the recipient. No one should feel pressurised into tipping more than they can afford just to keep up with others.

The price they charge nowadays for strips for any sport is shocking TBH ! So i can fully understand why people look at alternatives. I would also but places near me charge by the m2 so i would need to remortgage my house just to get a vest top 🤣🤣🤣

RyanAir is the Spirit of Europe. They charged for basic boarding documents. However, I once flew with them round-trip with bags and all that priority jazz for like $71.

Ryanair does not charge to go to the bathroom.  They once "considered" it but it never got past that.
 

I believe this was Ryanair! Not sure if it stll happens but I'm sure it was £1 

Same here !! Well not by that name! Never heard him being called Leo!
