I don't know how many of you watch the quiz programme L'Eredita' but the other day there was a question about what was against the law.....the answer TIPPING WAITERS IS AGAINST THE LAW.
My father-in-law always said you must not tip, and we thought he was just keeping his money in his pocket, but it was well founded.
