1st time I was in Prague my partner got so stressed because of all the tourists we had to leave the main street just so she could breathe. We literally walked around a corner and there were no tourists. But there was a beer place, downstairs. So we walked down there and sat down at one of the long tables, someone brought 1 beer for each of us without a word spoken by either side; when we (OK, I) emptied that beer mug they brought a new one, when we signalled we were done they brought a bill (for about the amount I'd pay for 1 cup of coffee back home). As Scandinavians we were 100% OK with that level of service :)

The water thing depends on the country and city. Most places in Sweden won't charge a dime for water (and we have pretty good tap water for the most part). It happens more often in fancy or big city restaurants, but not always. *Edit:* Also, I don't consider the stuff Starbucks sell to be coffee. It's hot/cold milkshakes with a dash of coffee flavoring. Whether it's soy or almond milkshakes or whatever, it's still milkshakes. And the "black" coffee of the US is basically like making love in a canoe - f%%%ing close to water. ;-D

Honestly Starbucks in the US is actually surprisingly better than in Sweden. Actually the second best coffee I had in the US although that doesn't say much.

It's for the views and the youtube algorythm. "Czechia" isn't nearly as clickable in a comparative video as "Europe". Lots of professional youtubers have to use these kinds of tricks if they want to make a living. The honest ones (like this guy) make it clear early in the video what the limitations discussed in the video is about. He wouldn't have this problem if he was comparing US vs France, or the UK, or Germany, but sadly Czechia just isn't as popular so he has to lure people in with a broader concept and trick the algorythm into being interested in his video.

Hello from Czechia. There is not big tipping culture because our waiters are paid as normal workers and don´t depend on the tips or not so much. I prefer this style because I don´t want to be asked every ten minutes if I want anything more. If I need something I just ask or holding up your head and catching the sight of the waiter will do also - and he comes and ask you. And yes, here you can sit hours talking and eating and drinking and playing games or reading. We are used to spend an evening in a pub or a restaurant with friends. Very common here.

@Pidalin Жыл бұрын

That's not actually precisy, many Czech waiters work for very small salary and live mainly from tips, in the past, it was standard, today it's changing, but still, most of restaurant owners (no offense) are thieves and cheaters so they still do that, same as most of small Czech companies, not only restaurants, they give you small salary officialy and another money illegaly "on hand" so tiping is really important even here in Czechia, but compared to USA, they don't expect tips everywhere, you mostly only round it up to make it easier and not forcing them looking for coins.

It is not that here in CZ we are so poor that we have only one choice of a beer. The truth is that to start a pub, you have to have a license for beer selling and you have to pick a contract with one of the local breweries and only sell their beer. From time to time, bartenders can have two to four options, but that is rare. Mostly, they only have one or two options of beer.

@mrkv4k Жыл бұрын

You don't have to, but it's much easier if you do. Because if you make a deal with one brewery, they'll provide branded stationery, like glasses, tablecloths, coasters, sometimes even tables, chairs and parasols. That could be completely free or for a symbolic charge, you just have to negotiate the minimum amount of beer you'll be required to buy per month.

You can mostly choose from like 2-3 beers here on tap, but it's tru that many pubs have only 1 beer and other beers are only in bottles. Most of Czechs select pub by beer they have, when you want pilsner beer, you go to pub with sign pilsner urquel in front of pub or other beer you want. We drink big coffees too in Europe, but not in restaurants or coffee places, you drink it at home or in work, when you go to restaurant or café, most of Czechs will order something like lungo, real italian espresso is too small and weird even for us. BTW, what I totaly hate about coffee sizes is that they very often say only S, M, L or something, so you have no idea how big it actually is, they should show it in mL in Europe, what we normaly drink at home from our standard mugs is like 200 mL, but that would be really big in caffé, you mostly expect something like 80-100 mL when you order lungo or americano, what the hell si S M L? I want to know exact volume of that cup. I don't actually like real espresso, it's too strong and small, I prefer drink coffee for longer time and I mostly do something while drinking it, so it's more like american style, in southern europe, they just drink it like shot of vodka and go, that's not for me. 🙂

Swedish waitors is somewhere between what you and he says, not too much and not too little when they speak with you. And you have to ask for the bill, but not at lunch because in some restaurants you pay first. But only in IKEA you pay extra for things like bread, butter, cheese and so on. Coffee we drink in mugs or big cups. And second cup is almost always included.

There is no tips in Spain unless you explain to the waiter/waitress that it is a tip. If you don't they will give your money back automatically. As it is very dificult to me to socialize I never tip. And here it is mandatory to serve tap water if you ask for it for free, due the need of reducing plastic use.

@anashiedler6926 2 жыл бұрын

Actually there is a good reason why tap water costs about 2€ in europe. For the price calculations you have to consider: 1.) yes, tap water is "free" for the restaurant, but: 2.) Waiters get paid a fair amount of money per month, regardless of what they actually do. (meaning: no matter how many miles they walk, how many customers they serve.) 3.) For that reason, a glass of water is the same work for the waiter as a glass of beer. The actual price of the resource water might be minimal, but added the costs of the waiter serving you its almost the same. 4.) also: the cost of you sitting there sipping the water, is the same costs in (rent, heating, etc.) for the restaurant as if you would actually drink something more "profitable" 5.) and last but not least: you sitting there sipping the free water blocks your table for other paying customers. so i think its fair that water is (mostly) not free in europe

Well if you sit to only get tap water, unless you are feeling unwell, you are being a unreasonable, but if you are having a meal, or other stuff I don't see the problem, you should not deny water to one who needs, or to one having a meal, the same way you won't be charged by sugar on a coffee, but hey maybe it's because I come from Portugal which can be a hot country, and water sometimes is a must to survive, even kids sometimes go to cafes to ask for water if they are playing on the street.

Same prices as in Spain. You can have a cup/glass size for 1€ (caña), and a jar for 2€ or 2,50€, most usually blond beer. Some beer types are sold in bottles, like special or black beers. Beers in tin cans can be very cheap in the supermarket, some non-brand beers can be around 0,30€ a can. So, water is more expensive than beer.

@Pidalin Жыл бұрын

Restaurant owners (and other smaller local companies) are mostly thieves and cheaters (same like taxi drivers or owners of taxi companies) so they give only small salary to waiter and they need tips, or they give you small salary official and another illegal money "on hand" so you will have low pension because of that, that's why they need tips. Janek in that video is saying that it's not the thing here, but it is, he is obviously from different social bubble and better class than ordinary average Czech who work like that, so he doesn't know. His father was some diplomat in USA or something, so he is what we call upper 10% of people, so he doesn't really know reality of Czech work system, it's more like in USA than he thinks. Most of that illegal cash is from German customers, they are trying to look like modern progressive people from outside, but inside, they are same thieves and cheaters as our bussinesmen and if they can, they pay illegal cash for product instead of taxing it properly, and our companies do bussines mainly with Germany, so there is plenty of untaxed cash from Germany in every Czech company.

@PauloSousa86 Жыл бұрын

Sorry but I have a different mentality, if a bill comes of around 200$ sorry but that is already enough money for the house, I won't leave anymore, it's already too expensive for my pocket...but hey I come from a low income country so maybe that's why. If it's a dinner group we may split the bill, like if it is 18$ each we round it up to 20$ each, and leave the change to the waiter if we had good service. For me asking for tip is an insult to a client, because you don't know if the person having a meal has enough for it or is willing to spend some dollars he may need on tipping, and not only that, but it proves you only served him well because he can give you money, and if that doesn't happen, he doesn't deserved to be treated equally as other costumers. Every costumer should be treated equally and respectfully, for the service he asks, independently if he wishes to compensate the one serving him for a monetary amount or not. That is a costumers right.

More like central europe vs USA, it will be very similar in Czechia, Poland, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary and many other countries. Thing with bill hapened to me even in Croatia, so there are differences in Europe, also paying in restaurant is different even in our region, it's the same in Czechia, Austria and Slovakia, but more western way in Poland, I am not sure about Germany. In Poland, they pay to those weird books (I saw it even in Latvia for some reason), I still don't really understand how it works, here in Czechia, they have this system only in very fancy restaurants. In Czechia, Slovakia or Austria, you mostly pay directly to waiter so it's super simple and easy. When I was in Portugal, it happend few times to me that I gave him big banknoet and he just walked away for change so I was waiting even few minutes, that was really confusing, I think it's even illegal here in Czechia, they can't just walk away with your bill or bank card. But on other hand, in Portugal, they completely understood our Czech tiping system, when I was supposed to pay like 9 eur, I gave him 10 eur banknote and I said "that's ok" and they understood it everywhere, which was really refreshing becuase they don't understand this neither in close countries like Poland. So, yes, there are differences, but you still know you are in Europe.

If you order your meat anything over medium in a decent restaurant, they shouldn't serve you ... Medium-rare is the facto standard.

I am from Spain. Zero in common with the supposed European way. He talks about a little tiny country and endorses it like the whole continent. Here tap water is free, but most people want spring water, and on most menus, bread and water are free. We don't like the pushy fake smile waitress are annoying and we prefer to have friendly conversations during and after meal even after we finished. He is right the restaurants wants us to remain and are no so eager to get other clients as we will still consuming more drinks and we are not a tap culture. Here more than a euro of the tap is weird, and I will never tap. It is not my business to pay the waitress. That is the restaurant employee's business. There are Labour laws for fair salaries. Not client business paying Waitress.
