But that's true for non-tip workers too. Service is a bigger thing in the US than it is in Europe. It's a cultural thing. Tips doesn't change that.

as a european who visited the US a while ago, the "fake happiness" as i called it was very offputting to me.

Like, people working dead-end service jobs act way to happy even when they have no reason to be happy. it seems so forced and fake that it actually gives me an unpleasant feeling.

I see little need why a cashier who makes minimum wage should always smile, they are people too and can have a shitty day too?

The insincerity of servers in US restaurants is shocking as an outsider when you first experience it!

Exactly. Just look at Japan where tipping is a big no-no, but service is taken extremely seriously and puts the US to shame.
