I'm thinking of following European tipping traditions despite living in America
That sounds a little confusing. Why are you still going to tip like a European if you're already in America?
I hate tipping
It is wrong to rob poor people serving you food who make $3 an hour. You should have some respect for people or just eat take out food.
Nah forget that. I should probably just eat at home.
Well, it's your own choice if you want to eat at home or eat out in a restaurant. But just remember, American restaurants require you to tip your servers as it is customary and the tradition is different.
