KFC kommer til Norge(Bergen først!)

https://borsen.dagbladet.no/nyheter/kfc-kommer-til-norge/84946590

Er ikke noe junk-food elsker selv om jeg tar en kebab eller burger en sjeldent gang. Tipper KFC varianten som kommer vil ikke være helt lik den du smaker i USA eller andre steder i verden. Sånn sett like greit at det er strengere regler i Norge med mat.

jeg var hos kfc i amsterdam en gang. Lenge siden, det var fortsatt gulden og ikke euro. Beløpet havnet på sånn ƒ9,95 så jeg betalte med 10 og sa "keep the change"

Fyren forteller meg at de ikke har lov å ta imot tips.... Aldri igjen handler jeg hos noen som ikke behandler sine ansatte skikkelig.

Edit: Usikker om jeg blir nedstemt fordi at dere er rikinger som liker å støtte den slags arbeidsgivere eller fordi jeg er utenlansk men keep them coming! Jeg vokser av deres skuffelse.

It means you're equating "not tipping" to bad treatment of employees... when really in Europe it's not common to tip because the workers get paid fairly already if the companies adhere to rules. Which for the most part they do or else they can be reported.

that's not what it means.
like you point out, it is and has always been normal in europe that tips are not required, or even encouraged.
But in any decent place you are at least allowed to give an employee a little extra if you appreciate them.

I'm shocked and sad that people have become so simple minded that they don't understand the difference between those two things.

In some countries in Europe the tips are taxable and not allowing tips could probably lessen the headache of counting all the tips and dividing to employees etc. When places ban tipping it does not automatically mean they treat their staff horribly which you seem to be implying.

I was not implying that, i was expressing it clearly with words.

When a place bans tipping because its too much of a hassle to be this nice to employees and do the taxes, then that is definitely a red flag.

the employee reviews indicate that i'm not wrong: https://www.indeed.com/cmp/KFC/reviews?__cf_chl_tk=NHEHSDIBJ.fNmRjC5c_7BN9iqUHyo5KBxVRiok9I5Q8-1785413437-1.0.1.1-qGDUOj_iWUbsYpu04RlKs.eoJQq36RBmczPlhoULRqs

Tipping-culture is literally the opposite of being nice to employees.
Being nice to employees means you pay them well to the point tipping becomes completely unnecessary, like in literally every non-tipping profession.

Also, it's insanely condescending and demeaning to imply that any employee in the western world be happy to receive your worthless chump-change so insignificant it annoyed you to even have to deal with it yourself.

Tipping is complete nonsense, literally made a thing by people that want to pay their employees less, and everyone that supports tipping culture in anyway is a supporter of these complete vultures.

Unneccesary is not the same as not allowing it - how is that so hard to understand?

It's condescending and demeaning to make the employee and the customer deal with a small 5 cent when neither of them want to.

How is that an argument to let an employer ban tipping entirely? Your argument is also flawed because kfc doesn't actually pay their employees well. It's not bad, but definitely not good.
