Why do Croats lounge over a cup of coffee for hours? What’s the American equivalent to Čokolino? And what’s the deal with mandatory tipping? In this podcast friends and colleagues Gaj Tomaš, a Croat and Cody McClain Brown, an American but nativized Croatian, explore the charming (and less charming) sides of life in their respective countries. In each episode, they’ll tackle a new topic—whether it’s food, healthcare, or measurement units—and compare how it’s seen and experienced in Croatia and the USA.

Tipping

Keep the change! This week Gaj and Cody break down the tipping culture divide between Croatia and the U.S. Cody questions the U.S. “tipping trap” of forced friendliness, where tips are a must—at 20% minimum—and extend from restaurants to tip jars in cafés. Gaj compares this with Croatia’s relaxed approach, where tips are usually just a small round-up. They discuss who gets tipped, from bartenders to hairdressers, the shock American visitors face when calculating Croatian tips, and the impact of the Euro on tipping norms. Plus, they joke about dilemmas like tipping for a €7.25 coffee and whether tipping might ever disappear altogether!
