10 tips to help pass your Duolingo speaking test

Are the French actually stingy, or is there a deeper reason behind their attitude toward tipping? In this episode of Déjà Vu French, we explore the controversial world of tips (les pourboires).

From the historical origins of the word "TIPS" in England to the modern-day pressure of credit card machines in Parisian restaurants, I share my personal perspective as a former waiter and bartender on why the tipping system might be broken.

In this video, you will learn:

French Vocabulary for Dining: Le pourboire (the tip), radin (stingy), le serveur (the waiter), and la note (the bill).

The History of Tipping: Is "To Insure Prompt Service" a real acronym or just a legend?

Tipping Around the World: Why is giving extra money considered rude or impolite in Japan?

A Waiter’s Secret: A personal story about how tipping creates hypocrisy and inequality in customer service.
