The joke is on the Brazilian. We don’t beat dead dogs in the US. We get cops to shoot the living dogs, because they’re “scared”.
Do Brazilians have worker’s rights?

Tipping everywhere didn’t pop up until square cash started dominating the POS terminal market, and leaving tipping on by default. People being the huge pushovers that they are and tipping everywhere instead of rejecting it is what allowed it to stay. It’ll happen in your country too.
Good luck trying that shit in France. I think the fact that the actual word we use literally means “for drinks” (pourboire) hammers home the fact that this is extra money you are giving a “service” employee because you like them, and not because their employer is not paying them enough
Might be more of a cultural difference than just the word, because we use the same word in Québec and unfortunately we have a very similar tipping system to the US. We even have different wages for employees that are considered doing a tipping job (salaire au pourboire), just like the US.
And more and more, it’s unfortunately common to go in a place where tipping was not expected, and now they are showing tipping options on the terminal, or they leave little jars in front of the cash register.
I went in France a few months ago and it was so refreshing not to have to bother with this BS.
Don’t forget mass shootings!
Brazil has >3x the murder rate of the US. I get that dunking on the US is super fun but theres a gulf separating the two countries
