Personally I find the tipping culture one of the most uncomfortable things about visiting the US
Honestly, I'm happy to tip someone if the space is super clean and well serviced. Let's not forget what wages are like in the US. While Qantas may claim to be adequately compensating, I can imagine how liveable that wage is. why be mean?
Indeed.
200 posts here over a US$1 tip ? Seriously ? To cleaners/attendants who will never experience the lounge as a customer. Get a grip people. Whenever Qantas cuts costs and it affects you, you are quick to jump on them. Where is the evidence that Qantas pays these cleaners adequately ? You can't just report a rumour that that might be the case and take it as fact. Yet here you are jumping on people who are merely behaving according to their culture. You should be ashamed of yourselves. If you don't like it, don't go to the US.
The information regarding pay came directly from Qantas.
So, what is the hourly rate, again, according to QF, please?

Why should they? What a compnay pays, and what someone earns, is none of our business.

Both of which are above the CA minimum wage of $10.50, which is rather high in the US
