Are you obliged to tip or can you refuse? (feddit.online)

I'm not into tipping when I've visited the US, since I come from a country where servers are paid the equivalent of Fr. 20-30 ($24-43) an hour so there isn't an obligation to tip them, but that's the opposite in the US. Am I allowed to hand them large cash tips such as Fr. 1000 ($1236) or 500€ ($583)? It gets weirder: as apparently fast food places demand a tip, like really? It's getting out of hand, what's the point then?

your allowed to had cash to anyone you like. tips are not mandatory but wait people are paid under the minimum wage in some cases legally. Many major cities are reversing this but there is a thing known as the sub minimum wage here.

    sorry. that should have been hand. people may not take it but its not illegal itself. Now if you suggest you are giving it to them to get something you should not. Like when recieving a ticket from a police officer. Then possibly not but if you literally did nothing but that it would be hard to prove you were trying to bribe them.
