Are Germans the cheapest people of the world? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have solid evidence. Also, they hate Russians still.

If I were to go with your latest gig... would that mean my emails would do a lot better?

I don't know about Germans specifically, but I've seen plenty of European tourists leave nothing to 5% tips on bar tabs.

In Europe employees get paid decently so they don't rely on tips for their income...
Europeans are just not that aware of the concept of tips...
Here tips often are saved by the company owner who will spend all that tips on a big company party for employees once a year...

Shall we go dutch?

Frugal.

The word you're looking for is frugal. As in, The frugal German guy ate his meal, paid the cheque and then left without tipping the nice waiter who later found and killed the frugal German."

Frugal. I think I'll make that my word of the day.

There are plenty of nations known more for being frugal but Germans (who are typically stereotyped as not having a sense of humor) aren't one of them

They include:
The Scottish (I can attest to this, being half Scottish)
The Dutch,
Indians,
and Israelis.

Here's a video of Russel Peters talking about how cheap Indian's are

that would also be my question...

Czechs are definitely cheaper than Germans, if they tip, they pay 580 crowns when the bill is 574 (and 20 crowns = $1)

and like it was said above: in Europe the concept of tipping is very different compared to the US. I would never ever get the idea to give someone money because he opened a door or called me a taxi

but when it comes to negotiating deals or getting the most for the money, the Germans are definitely good with that

In Germany we hardly tip for a bad service and since the service in Germany is quite bad the tips are pretty low...

Lars_Cash · 03-14-2014, 09:21 AM

PS. i know many good Russian people and i also love Russian girls (who doesent?) There might be people in Germany which are haters but those guys are everywhere in the world - judging a whole country by some (personal?) experience might be wrong.

JuicyBunny · 03-14-2014, 09:25 AM

Germans? Seriously? Not even in the top 10.

The Porn Nerd · 03-14-2014, 09:25 AM

No, that would be the Scottish.

Struggle4Bucks · 03-14-2014, 09:57 AM

I don't know what gave the world the stereotype bullshit of Dutch being cheap. Like the concept of "dutch bill", etc... doesn't even exist here in Holland. We never let girls pay "their" share when going out. Not even on a first date... which... i believe... is not uncommon in America.

To me personal accepting tips is cheap... I would feel pretty embarrassed to receive a tip.
Like i'm some shoe-shiner or something... "Didn't i tell ya? Oh i didn't go up there and tell ya... i don't shine shoes anymore". What's also cheap is a whole fucking nation getting paid so shitty they rely on tips or two jobs to get their fucking bills paid... While their business owners shamelessly show the wealth they acquired over the backs of their slaves. The poverty of their slaves is what gave them their wealth... now that's cheap...
