Australians hate Starbucks.
A lot of Americans do too
That's crazy if its 20 bux its 20 bux put it in your total price so people are not confused or ripped off. Tipping should not be mandatory it should be for exceptional service at the buyer's discretion. Canberra well that's another place altogether all in their own world there. There is another young American Girl who lives near me her name is Kaitlyn from Pennsylvania,her channel is Kinda Australian and she does all this stuff from an American point of view lovely girl.
Why would you give a waiter more money as a tip ????? In Australia, our absoulte minimum wage is $745 a week, and most get $1200 a week , no Australian gives extra , even unemployed get $1100 every two weeks for as long as you choose to stay unemployed 30 + years if you want, NO TIPS in Australia. We all get paid enough, we all get free health care , doctors , housing , hospitals , and our economy is 5 th of the world but we are 240 times less people ! Our gross domestic income is 13 x the US per capita, Australia has 90 percent of the worlds lithium, cobalt , iron , and boxite, copper , maganatite , guess who is the next world super power ???? We are one of only 3 countrys who have our own F35 unlock codes that prevent the US over riding input comands , the US and UK the only others , Australia has its own nuclear attack submarines using the secert US design only the UK has the same , Australia developed the new TB3 triangle advavced attack device ,at pine gap Australia the super secret Australian area 51 with the US and Australia!
The 'Unemployed' get $1100 every two weeks!!
Where the hell did you hear that?
I think you've got a LOT of your facts mixed up or you spending too much time on conspiracy websites .. or both!!
Your attitude of "don't finish it " when your coffee is to large, mean's it will be wasted. Why pay for something that will be thrown out. 🤔
Your point? Thats no different than anywhere else here. And it’s always been that way. She knows this but she forgot. That’s not the country’s fault.
If you ever get the chance to visit my fair country Australia, a couple of tips from someone who lives here;
1. Tipping is only for exceptional service in a restaurant. Otherwise it is not expected.
2. The price on the price tag is what you pay. Any tax is already included in that price.
3. When you go to a coffeehouse, after you order, you go sit down, and your order will be brought to you. Afterwards you are not expected to clean up your table, take the cups and other dishes to a scullary, and wipe down the table. The staff will do that.
4. When you order a cup of coffee in Australia, it is normally made espresso. So if you think you are being short changed by receiving a smaller cup than in the States, remember; it's quality not quantity. And the Aussie coffee packs a lot of punch. If you insist on ordering an American super sized coffee in Australia, and you manage to drink it all, you ain't going to sleep for the next 48 hours. Not to mention the heart palpitations. Aussie coffee is some of the best in the world, but do treat it with the respect it deserves.
5. Aussies work hard and play hard. But they are for the most part very friendly and laid back. And they don't take politics, or their politicians very seriously. Sure they whinge about the government. But that's a national sport.
Hi, when I came to Australia from the UK my first Aussie mate said that there is 3 things you don't do in Australia, you don't muck around with another man's transport.
You don't touch his wallet and you don't fuck around with his beer!
Great advice
I usually tip. The rate of the tip is directly proportional to the service. Because tips are not expected, it's good to see the expression on staff members faces when they receive a tip.
Wages should be on the employers not the customers.
It is time to pay the workers in the USA a living wage.
You won’t hear me disagreeing with you there
All Western countries bar the USA have mandatory vacations of at least 4 weeks leave per year plus parental leave from 18 weeks to a years (or more) paid leave. No wonder Americans are among the most stressed-out people in the world.
99% of coffee place here in the great southern land are not big chains and are great service and bring your drinks to you and will look after you with anything you may need while there for example the one i go to all the time knows my order without having to even order it and will bring it to me with a smile and say enjoy the rest of your day and always ask how you are to be truthful they seem more like a family member making me a coffee rather than a coffee shop
Even the big chains here are friendly and go out of their way to make sure you’re happy but they just don’t bring you your coffee. Smaller places do.
Wow America the land of the fee!
Is tipping when the employer doesn’t pay their staff correctly. Surely the staffs job is to provide service and the employer should pay appropriately. Tipping, that’s like begging.
Not at all the same as begging
One memory that has stuck with me was on a training trip years ago, getting on a bus in Orlando to be taken to the training site and behind my seat was a young guy, an older guy sits down beside him and introduces himself by “Hi my name is Garry and I go to such and such Baptist church where do you go” To which the young guy answers “Oh I go to this one” I was thinking now there is a conversation you would never ever hear in public in Australia! (And thank f&@k for that!)
That’s kinda odd lol
@@ToniaElkins sure was, I kinda figured I was giving off atheist signals because no-one sat next to me, but I did find the Americans weren’t that interested in mixing with us Aussies.
@@bline5891 It probably didn’t have anything to do with being Aussie. Americans love anyone with an accent 🤣
@@ToniaElkins I am not sure what it was, don’t get me wrong we met some lovely people on the trip outside of the training, but I was expecting a fair bit of interest both ways and interaction based off common ground based on the work we all did but I was wrong.
@@bline5891 That’s too bad
As an Australian watching this .. I'm just scratching my head wondering WHY you should be tipping people for doing NOTHING!!
I can understand it to a degree, if someone is providing you with service which goes above and beyond the 'normal' level of service.
It annoys me that here in Australia, 'tipping' is becoming more and more a thing and that's because years of 'Conservative' government (LNP) 'anti-worker' policies have caused a stagnation of real wages and that impacts workers in the 'services' area in particular because of their generally lower wages.
Those workers are now having to rely on 'tipping' far more now than they used to, to make ends meet.
It's part of the continued 'Americanization' of Australia .. and I don't like it!!
In 'civilized' countries .. people should be paid decent wages first and foremost!
If a business has a tips jar and I receive good service, then of course I'll tip something. If I receive a good meal and good service at a restaurant without a tips jar I again would tip accordingly. But if I receive what I'd consider substandard service (I am Silver Service trained btw) and upon paying I was asked for a tip, my standard comment would be "Be good to your mother".
I understand that and there are people who do that of course but you’re considered an A-hole here if you do that bc that’s their income. I understand doing it for awful service or jerk waiters.
G'day form the land down under! Announced today that as of July 1 the minimum wage will rise from $2323 UAD per hour to $24.10 AUD per hour of $16.40 USD per hour and then you need to add on the penalty rates for working after hours and weekends and public holidays... That. is why Asheigh gets great service in OZ ... For more on an American view on living in Australia try Kinda Australian...Kaitlyn is from Philidelphia and moved to OZ to be with her partner Mark...Awesome! She has teased with Ashleigh for a couple of vlogs... ruclips.net/user/KindaAustralian
I’ve reacted to Kinda Australian once so far and definitely plan on doing more 🥰
I'm surprised the Americans don't do what we do and have minimum wages increases every year that are in line with inflation. It would ensure that those earning the lowest don't have less and less every year.
@@MrBCorp We do! It varies by state. But waiters still get paid less.
@@ToniaElkins In Australia it's a federal thing. States don't mandate their own minimum wage and they don't impose state income taxes. It's done on a federal level.
The first time we ever went to the US, we were in San Francisco and we were aware that we would have to tip. The first experience that we had of this was that the meal was around $70 and we put 2 $50 notes and were going to leave a tip with some of the change. They just never brought back our change and kept it as a tip. It taught us a good lesson, only leave what we wanted which would include the tip. Coming from a country where you don’t tip, this felt like theft to us and we never went back to that restaurant. The whole notion that those poor servers rely on tips to survive is disgusting, they should be getting a decent wage from their employers as they do here. What a joke! PS Love your cats! Aussies are mad animal lovers, no one will ever mind that one of your darling cats strolls past the camera ♥️
@@karenglenn6707 That’s horrible on that restaurants part! Most waiters will definitely bring your change back. I would’ve been mad too. I would’ve found our waiter and asked where my change was lol.
Heres my tip. Be good to your mother and listen to your father. 😜
I tried to give a tip in PNG but my contact/guide there said no no no, if you tip them they will be indebted to you till they pay it back. It's a burden on them as they can't forget it. So I just said thank you instead.
Hi Tonia I'm Vaughan from Australia we used to tip many moons ago keep up the good work I. A new subscriber
Welcome!
As an Australian that has never visited USA I do understand why tipping is such a big thing for service industries. However, what I don't understand is why the percentage that is tipped ever needs to change. The tip is (say) 20% of the cost of the service. As that price increases with inflation so to does the size of the tip. Is there a reason for this increase or is this just an example of the aggressive nature of service workers?
I agree
Budgeting your money must be so hard when you have to make allowances for taxes and tips on top of the marked price all the time. You must all be constantly doing maths in your head. And I couldn’t even imagine trying to budget for the week not knowing how much you will earn because the bulk of your income relies on the benevolence of the customers who are tipping you.
We are certainly blessed here that the marked price is what you pay, a tip is not expected and your employer pays a fair wage that doesn’t need to be supplemented. Some places here are trying to phase in tipping as they move to QR table ordering but they are meeting a lot of resistance with the vast majority ignoring it.
Tonia we have the chain places and we also have a lot of smaller cafe's that serve excellent coffee. Generally we don't have super large coffees. Certainly you can buy large cups of coffee but a lot of people would buy a medium cup. I think we are a bit European in our coffee culture from the influence of immigrants(a good thing) from various places in European.
I know I cant finish a large coffee unless it takes me hours 😂
Aussies please do not tip we do not want that culture, workers get paid.

Hey, TE! Haven't watched yet but looking forward to seeing the experiment...
if I ever get to America I will never tip
When in Rome.....
That’s wrong.
Wait staff get paid peanuts. Just pay as much as you'd pay in Oz. Breakfast $5 in US, add $12 tip. In Australia, pay $17.
@@ZoeBrain Dream on.
Thankyou for showing an interest in our beautiful country.
You’re welcome! I’ve been interested since I was a kid! 🥰
@@ToniaElkins looking forward to enjoying your Aussie education in the future.
She's from Philly. (Oops mixed her up with Kinda Australian she's from Philly, sorry.)
tipping allows the business owners to advertise false cheaper prices - typical lies in adverts
This is BS!!! As a frequent traveller to the US I find the service to be exponentially better than here in Australia. In the US the minimum wage is so low, service workers depend on tips to make a living and therefore are far more friendly and outgoing than here in Australia. In Australia the minimum wage is so high that service workers do not depend on tips...they are a bonus and always welcome, but attitudes of service workers are the worst in the world. In the US it's like "HEY, WELCOME to ..., I'm ..., What can I do to make your experience better?. In Australia it's like "hey, what do you want?" (in a tone of voice that implies they are contemplating taking their own life, regardless of your answer). Australian service is the worst anywhere in the world. FACT!!!!
Lol yeah she must’ve hit up all the wrong places on this trip home cuz I agree about Americans having the friendliest service.
Shemust still be American because she talks a lot but says very little, 1 minute video if she got to the point
wow, rude
LOL
@@queenslanddiva I thought the same as Mark. If certain females from all countries edited their thoughts before they spoke it would be less tiring on the listener. A stream of consciousness requires a lot of concentration to understand the salient points! Mindfulness can be attained simply by listening to yourself as you speak.
Last time I went to the pub (hotel) for lunch with the sibs (siblings, my brother and sister) we ordered and paid on our phones from the table. There was a check box in the app to add a tip but HEY! we haven't had any service yet. So it's creeping in here more and more. By 'here' I mean Australia. PS: Hi, Cody 🐀🐀🐀
Unfortunately it’s the way our waiters/waitresses get paid. It’s our culture. It’s seen as rude not to.
@@ToniaElkins Yea, I understand. And it makes sense if you get some kind of service at least.
She does look a bit like Emma Stone.😂
Thank you 💜 They look very similar!
USA doesn't sound too welcoming,even less so if Trump gets in
Hmm it seems you kinda missed the point of the video. And btw The American people and the American govt are 2 completely different things. Thats like me judging you on the Australian govt.
But it is the people that elect the leaders so, you are definitely responsible for your government as we are responsible for ours. If you dont vote then you also are responsible for not paying attention, you can judge us on our government we elected them its OUR government, You in the US talk about your government like its some occupying force. Its YOUR government
Adam, you couldn't be more wrong.
By far the worst violence, killing, destruction, homelessness and poverty is in Democrat run areas. Many of those are now at 3rd world status, streets full of tents and tarpaulins, faeces and junk on the streets.
Australia is ranked number one in the World's Most Liveable Countries list, the US was reasonably high, but fell badly under Obama, who had borrowed more money in his two terms than all previous US Presidents had borrowed COMBINED in history. It rose sharply again under Trump, his 2.5% unemployment rate will never be beaten, his 4.2 % GDP growth rate is astonishing. He reduced drug inflow, halted the outflow of illegal drug money, crime and WARS fell dramatically. He will eventually become a great for returning manufacturing to the US.
Under Biden, the US has plummeted into the 30's on that list, On average, I will live 7+years longer than a US citizen in a larger and better equipped house with 4 times more saved wealth than a US citizen.
I don't like Trump, but that's a stupid and puerile reason to hire and fire someone. Childish.
Look at history.
The Left has failed miserably in every endeavour in every country on Earth for 170 years, destroyed 30 countries, and killed 200 million people without EVER advancing humanity. There has never been a single successful Government, industry, product or even a job created using Leftist principles anywhere on Earth. Nothing.
The truth is, the Left can only ever exist as a parasite on the work and organisational capacity of Financial Conservatives, the people who created, built and paid for civilisation plus everything you can see or will ever see.
If a person supports the failure, destruction and killing of the Left, that person has CLEARLY demonstrated either stupidity or a psychosis. Fact.
No sane, rational, adult human of even moderate intelligence would support that level of failure.
In fact, without stupids, psychos, malcontents, misfits, manipulators, faux intellectuals, criminals and parasites, the Left wouldn't get a vote.
We know stupids and psychos hate success and successful people only because they, themselves, stink of failure, jealousy, inferiority, insanity, and stupidity.
Achievers can actually smell the stench of their failure in the words they write and speak.
Go Trump 2024 😁😇
