Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]
Those prices are about what I’d expect to pay at a restaurant here in Finland too, maybe a little more here but somehow they’re able to pay a living wage to the staff from that without extra “service charge” or tips.
You can also afford to buy a house. Finland best country
You do have to live next to Russia though…
It’s a non issue, Finns won the winter war and were greatly outnumbered lol
I’m sure it’s like every other country where a house out in the country is cheap but Helsinki is unaffordable.
In canada, I make good money but will never afford a house except butt fuck nowhere Saskatchewan or Manitoba
My wife and I are actually hoping to permenantly relocate to Finland after many years of pondering. I am in IT so even Helsinki is affordable but we want to live in Vaasa
It’s the same here in Germany except for the cheap house in the country part.
It’s all relative but housing in Germany is pretty cheap as a percentage of income compared to most western countries
Munich called and wants your claim laughed at
The place that, despite being by far the most expensive in Germany, has rents half those in London? Lower than Paris but with much higher wages? Thanks for proving my point.
Yeah don’t let that dude fool you, there are not really any first world countries where house in the country is cheap
What do you mean? A house in the city is almost always more expensive than a house in a rural area, in every country
Yeah that’s not what I meant, more like there are not many first world countries with affordable housing in any sense (like Germany and Canada)
I want a cheap house overlooking Neuschwanstein Schloss, bitte
