Yes! Damn, tipping is so not a thing in Europe. It's surprising every time I realize that. Here, it's integrated into the app... you're saying you don't have that option on your app?? My Lyft app has a tipping option at the end of the ride, and I believe Uber does too from when I was using it. I always tipped. There's a $1, $2, $5 and choose amount tip option on mine on top the ride cost, but it's optional. I'm shocked the apps are apparently different.Nah I wouldn't... I imagine you'd get weird looks if you tip your Uber driver here. I didn't even realise you lot tipped uber drivers, do you tip cabbies also?
We don't have that here lolYes! Damn, tipping is so not a thing in Europe. It's surprising every time I realize that.

Nope, there's no tipping option on Uber. Note sure about Lyft... I don't even think it exists here. I've never understood tipping. How much do you tip? I always thought it was 15-20% or is that just a movie thing? Say the uber arrives right on time, it's clean and gets you to your destination quickly..do you only tip then or are you expected to tip extra on top?Damn, tipping is so not a thing in Europe.

Ummm isn't that what she's supposed to do? Take care of her kids.
She looks young. I'd tip her 25% for being a Somali, not because she has 7 kids. That's a choice she made.
Everyone else gets 10% tip unless they've been very outstanding.. they'll get 25%.
Yeah I understand it's optional but isn't customary or downright rude to not tip if the service has been satisfactory?You tip them on the side. As you getting off you just hand him the tip. It is not expected
How come you don't tip at Somali restaurant ?
There's no service at Somali restaurants. Why should I tip people who take 30 minutes to bring you food with no banana available and who haven't wiped the tables clean. They ignore the fact that you've arrived 15 minutes ago and they are on their phones or watching TV and don't take your order.
If they gave me normal service, they would get my 25%.
On top of that, they will tell you there is no bariis and chicken BBQ left and tell you to get spaghetti and fish.
You're supposed to leave a restaurant at least satisfied but when you leave a Somali restaurant, you are very unsatisfied and annoyed
Do you live for these moments ? The chance to belittle your own. To disparage them and to demoralize them.
Is there anything hey makes you proud to be Somali. Even a siil ? Go try it t you haven't
