Like I said, just another tip topic LOL.

So with that scintillating intellect of yours at work, what would your solution be to the current employment malaise in the USA? Hint: We called it the susso.

Do we need to make this another JATT (Just Another Tip Topic)?

Long time ago ( 1986 ), but when I was in Atlantic City the chambermaid that cleaned my hotel room was making 75 cents an hour. Face it, without tips most service people in America would be slave labor.

Each country is different. Thais don't tip. Australia has a minimum wage ( from memory ) about $19 an hour. Tips are usually 10% in Oz, nothing if the service is bad.

I tip here, definitely. I'd feel guilty if I didn't, given earnings here. However, paying someone 30% in tips to ensure they don't spit in your food or screw you around the next time they see you sounds like a fairly cockeyed system to me.

I don't think the OP has to worry about a moral dilemma. I understand China has been doing this kind of experimentation on its prison population for decades.

Americans tip. Like at a wedding banquet? $5000 for the servers to split. Its nothing for folks to tip 30% on a check if the server is good, especially if they have been servers before.

Americans tip because the base wages are so lousy no one could live on them.

76 yo, uninsurable. Looks like I won't be coming back to Thailand the next time I leave, unless the rules change in the next 6 months.

The mosque gathering in Malaysia by the Muslims in South Thailand might have increased the numbers and the government is trying to confirm the cases. 

 

Malaysia is now struggling with the numbers at 900 cases due mainly to the mosque gathering.

 

Allah is evidently impartial when it comes to stupidity.

A medical certificate is an opinion based on observations by a medical professional.  In the case of Covid 19 a medical history and taking the temperature is all that is necessary for that observation. If the temperature is normal, then what is the difficulty.

Some COVID-19 infected people are asymptomatic, a blood test is necessary to confirm or reject infection. A temperature reading is meaningless. That's the difficulty.

There's only so many farangs the IDC can hold, so the authorities will be forced to think outside the square.

Gardening keeps me busy and keeps me moving, if anybody would like to call around & join in with some rigorous gardening pursuits they are welcome, no charge? 

I used to have a sign at the house I owned in Australia. It said " B##ger the garden, gone golfing".

No,  I have never stated that it disgusts me 

In that department, I've had quite a depraved time recently 

Not that I would ever tell anyone , but no one would believe me anyway

Pardon me for thinking you have changed your tune.

Any point in visiting Pattaya, period? Squatty Issan slappers.

As long as you have a GF, booze and Netflix, 12 days should be OK.

When Sayuri, Celeb, and Hi Class Karaoke are closed, it will be serious. Given the police involvement.

Just ben down Loi Kroh and its in full effect

Bars and massage parlous all closed

Now what were you doing there? I thought the whole bar scene disgusted you, from your previous posts. Could it be you like a walk on the wild side?

Its rule of life for men in the USA. Folks alwyas break it though

Given prostitution laws in the US, that's not surprising.

can you rephrase that ?

You don't understand English, or you think there's a Japanese allusion?
