you didn't account for the 11 dollar salad.
the tax is only $4.43 , and the delivery fee, 3 bucks.
labor is cheap here, as are tips.

even without the salad it's $30 + 10.25% tax + $3 delivery fee + $9 tip. Doc, yung tip pa lang, that's the cost of 2 angel's pizza. I used my card the whole time I was in the US and the conversion was around P53 to a dollar. I stand my ground na exponentially mas mahal kumain sa labas sa US than the Philippines.

when extra labor is involved, prices are high.

go to the pizza place and pick your purchase up, and avoid the tip and delivery fee.
the price will then come closer to local counterparts'.

Sobrang layo sa local prices. OMG.

May tip pa rin kahit pick up, it's not compulsory pero nakakahiya kasi when you insert your card may options sa Tip. Grabe na tipping sa US Still kahit 0 tip mas mahal pa rin Pizza sa US na $35 (that's P1800) Like I said I order Angel's regularly and 2 pizzas cost me P500. You could buy Shakey's, Pizza Hut, Angel's, Domino's, S&R or even Gino's, A mano, Cibo and Motorino's for much less. My point is it's more expensive in the US to order out or dine in compared to the Philippines

Wala kasi minimum wage sa US so the service industry makes up for it in gratuities.

My parents are retired US citizens and much prefer to stay here in the Philippines since the standard of living is cheaper.

That's another peculiarity found in the US. Kelangan pa magcompute ng sales tax pag bibili ka. When you eat out tax + tip. Why not include that in the sticker like how most of the world does it?

US na lang ganyan sa buong mundo na they have to rely on tips

That's ideal for me, have the blue passport then stay here in PH.

exactly, US lang ganyan na the price listed isn't the final price. I prefer to go shopping in states with lower tax like Wisconsin 6% compared to Illinois na 10.25%. What irks me more, pati cities iba iba ang rules. In Chicago, I don't know why the tax is higher ata for bottled water and then you pay .70 cents for plastic bags.

I remember there used to be a Philippine tourism commercial in the 2000s where the final reminder was "tipping is encouraged". Hated that commercial.

BTW our office janitor once worked at SM Supermarket as a bagger/stocker/cart collector and he said their uniforms don't have pockets so they presumably they cannot pocket small items nor keep any tips (though they all have hiding places in the mall where they keep bills given to them by customers). But for small change like P5 up to P20 they usually share that with the cashier as they always tend to go short during their cash count. But for P50-P100 he keeps for himself.

BTT: was hankering for dinuguan and luckily the karinderia at the corner cooked up a batch today.

There was this guy at landmark supermarket who insisted that he help us bring our cart to the car, we tried to discourage him as we can actually carry the bags but he was very persistent, and at the back of my mind I did not have neither a 20 or 50 in me, so I told myself maybe the guy needs extra income which is why he is persistent, that was the first time I tipped 100 for a grocery cart. I do tip a bit more if it was appliance or furniture. Funny thing is when I sat inside the car, there was a 20 bill in the center console [emoji13]

Yeah midwest/red states tend to have lower taxes. Whenever I was there, having to compute for everything added to my anxiety hehe. Then paguwi mo kikita pa yung card company sa forex conversion..

Galante! ₱100 for grocery cart. [emoji23]

The only time I gave that much tip is pag mabigat na appliances or furniture binili ko na dadalhin sa parking lot.
