Many people in Germany are familiar with the traditional döner kebab, which consists of chunks of juicy meat placed inside crispy warm bread with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and lots of sauce.

It turns out, however, that currywurst has just suffered a serious setback in the sausage-loving nation of Germany, where the majority of respondents to a recent survey stated that they actually prefer döner kebabs when it comes to fast food.

Even the concept of tipping can make some people anxious. How much is sufficient? How much is excessive? Should I leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee? While most of us are accustomed to leaving 15 to 20% as a tip at sit-down restaurants or adding a couple of dollars for a luxury Frappuccino at Starbucks, many would hesitate to do so at McDonald's or Burger King, or to add 20% at Chipotle or any other fast food establishment.

With 14.95% of the votes and a total of 87 responses, Burger King came in third, and Whataburger took fourth with 11.34% of the votes and 66 total responses.
Jonathan Maze, editor-in-chief of Restaurant Business, and Robert Byrne, director of consumer and industry insights at Technomic, talked about the results of a survey that revealed where customers stand on the tipping issue this week on the podcast "A Deeper Dive."
It turns out that the majority of those polled were hesitant to tip at these limited service establishments: 33% believed that fast food restaurants shouldn't ask customers to tip at all; 10% admitted they didn't like it but would still tip; and 10% said they didn't mind being reminded but wouldn't tip. Less than half are still in favour of the practise.
