    Tipping at a coffee shop is unheard of! I only tip at sit down restaurants where people come to take my order, service me, and do the check. I don’t care if the machine has a tipping section or they are watching, I happily put custom tip and type 0. Tipping shouldn’t be a thing.

    • @damo5791
      @damo5791 6 днів тому +6

      100% agree. I was in New York a few months ago and was shocked at the cheek of suggesting a tip just for making me a coffee or a burger. No service whatsoever. If I paid for food or drink before consuming it, I did not tip. If I paid for food or drink after I'd consumed it, i.e. served it at a table, then I'd tip.

    And of course, Bali is considered cheap if you're coming from NYC. But they recently jacked up the price there in Bali. Still not really noticeable tho

    Brett! I love love love your channel! BUT…it’s not entirely true that coffee in NYC costs $9!!! Like at all! There are plenty of places that a cup of coffee is $1.50 or at most $4.00! You are only showing these examples from higher end places and a certain lifestyle where the average NYer doesn’t spend their money. I have a couple of cute cafes in my neighborhood, which is a generally expensive neighborhood and coffee is definitely NOT $9! AND i have lived in NYC for 40 years and most people do not have balconies and live in a higher end area. I live in a higher end historic area and my rent for a one bedroom is just under $2000 with RSP park 30 seconds away!
    Don’t get me wrong, I do love seeing the places you go to, but your representation of NYC is only from your perspective and that these are the places that NYers go on the regular.

      I’ve been and I wouldn’t say it’s awful, but I found it to be underwhelming. The beaches are not like In Thailand or some other places. They’re more for surfing. The infrastructure is awful and it’s a bit monotonous with a million shops all trying to sell the same items. I got bored after 2 days. I’d say if you’re in SE Asia already, it’s good to pop by for a couple days, but that is enough. It’s not on my “go back to” list for sure. On the plus side, the people are absolutely lovely.
