If the seller gives me FB and once the product arrives and I am happy I leave FB. But if the seller does not leave FB, I don't either.

Er, so how do you notify them that it's time to leave feedback - that is to say, you've got the item and you're satisfied that the transaction has been completed - if not by leaving feedback yourself?

i think there may be some truth in what you say.

get this...$2.00 an hour plus tips.  i nearly fell off my chair.

when i told them that a casual waitress in oz earns above $25.00 per hour, they nearly fell off theirs.

i'd rather have the lesser service than a nation of working poor.

sorry to go off topic...

Bear in mind that in certain countries tips are culturally expected from customers. Australia isn't one of them, but in America tipping etiquette is this great big complex thing:

That said, the minimum wage laws here strike me as a much better system, and I'm sure many American workers would agree. But perhaps if I'd actually lived within a system where I could directly have a hand in the level of service I got, I'd think otherwise...
