Tipping is different here in New Zealand (I think). I know it's not as prevalent, that's for sure, and we certainly don't have the tipping-to-make-minimum-wage law, so tips are more of a bonus, and often - at least in my flatmate's cafe, pooled together for a night out for the staff (like to go towards a bar tab or movie tickets or something).

But, then again, he's manager and not making a living wage, so.

Incidentally, I'm curious as to why this was posted under "food for men". I just noticed their "about Eat Like a Man" paragraph, but it's still curious.
