    If you try to tip someone in Japan, they will 1) get confused, 2) go to great lengths to give it back, 3) get offended, 4) freeze up, 5) some combination of 1-4 or 6) something I haven't mentioned that doesn't involve taking the money. So good luck with that.

      @@che3se1495 Well, if the delivery dude comes from across the city in a rainy day I give a tip. Actually the more stuff I order the less tip I give. It's like this: "You came from across the city just to give me that coffee, have a tip". But if I order a huge amount of food I am like: "yo, I ordered 15 pizzas from you, where is my free Pepsi?" I obviously don't ask for free Pepsi but you get the point. I live in South Europe btw.
      One time, me and some friends ordered some drinks, and the package included a bottle of water. The delivery guy forgot that water, but of course since we were home we didn't care, it wasn't big deal at all. I gave a tip to the delivery guy. But that dude then, goes across the supermarket (we were hanging in my balcony so I saw him), buys a bottle of water and brings it to us. He apologized again for forgetting that water. And then of course I gave him a greater tip.

    I remember when I was 16 and I took my best friend and my little brother to the bowling alley. I ordered a full pizza for us. I almost forgot to grab the change off the counter and she asked me, “Is this for me?” And I was like “Oh, almost forgot my change.” The lady was so angry. Then I became upset because how is a grown woman asking three kids for a tip. I’m broke, this money is from birthday money.

    • @larryjester
      @larryjester 2 ปีที่แล้ว +173

      The lady made a crummy pizza at the bowling alley and expected a tip? I am guessing She made at least minimum wage. That's what I don't get about Subway and Starbucks. I get it, you don't make a ton of money, but I'm already over paying for the product, you're making a minimum wage income...why tip? I get tipping servers who only make 3 bucks an hour though.

You literally serve yourself in these type of stores--grab your own cup, fill it with fro-yo, and put your toppings on it at the topping bar. If we literally did all the work ourselves, why THE HELL was there even an option to tip 15-25% at the payment machine. It didn't make sense to me until the cashier told us a joke that made us all laugh, and I smiled as I tipped him approximately 0%.

      I live in Canada. I worked in a restaurant for 2 years, later on in a pharmacy. I made more money weekly at the rest. than the pharm. Working a day shift in a reasonably crowded restaurant leaves you a very big amount of tips, and it bumps up your salary. They make more money than another minimum wage job. That is why when I can, i leave the bare minimum of tipping, even for good service, or sometimes not even.
      I know very well that the "rich" people who eat at the place tip around 20-25%, which covers my and plenty others who can barely afford their trimestrial univeristy bills.

      The tip doesn't have to be given to a waiter or waitress. It can be simple rounded overpayment on the bill in general in the same sense as "keep the change". The recipient then is the restaurant as a whole. And that much is absolutely done in Japan. If you leave a separate payment for the waiter or waitress, they will decline it. Leave a bit extra, mostly for your own convenience, and they won't complain.

    I think what happened is that tipping originally worked the same way it did everywhere else, where you would only tip if someone did an exceptionally good job with their service. The problem is that at some point, since most businesses would at least like to think of themselves as providing exceptional service, not tipping went from "you did a satisfactory job" to "your service was sub-par", thus societal pressure caused us to just always tip regardless of the service.

You'll average about $45 dollars an hour. Of course there are other things that can bring it down. Some times tips are split among cooks, dishwashers ect. Or you get this guy, or you get people who will only ever tip 5 dollars.
      If your lucky, or efficient you can take home alot of money home even if they give 5 dollar tips. If you service 3 customers per hour giving 5 dollar tips for 6 hours that is 90 dollars per day. Or 15 dollars per hour. As you can see, you can have the potential to earn Double or more if they're all not jerks.

      I usually never tip though, and at restaurants I'll just make the dollar even or 1 or 2 dollars plus making it even. To be fair though, there's been numerous times at restaurants where I've asked for a refill and they'll either take a long time to get back with a refill (~10 minutes) or they get it wrong. So I really don't feel bad about hardly tipping when that happens.

      Irishman here, we are used to it. It is one of the reasons we drink so much.

Loud and ignorant but they can't help it, they are Americans so we let them have their fun, God loves them. When it comes to tipping American tourists won't give you the steam of their piss. For some reason they are as tight as a fishes arse when they are over here, even worse then the French. An American woman took a taxi from Galway airport to Kerry. After a three-hour drive, through lashing rain, at Christmas eve, the taxidriver dropped her off at a very posh hotel in Kerry. The fare came to something like 198,25 so she handed the driver 200.- and asked for the change, because "I don't want to insult you by giving a you a tip." Taximan: "That's allright missus, then I won't insult you by calling you a mean American cunt so. Merry christmas."

It always felt fair, because everyone worked hard for everything to run smooth and fast. The people who prepared the food (we didn't just serve ice in a cone) worked just as hard as the waiters to satisfy the customers for exactly the same wage, we had to correct their mistakes, deliver fast enough for the customer to be happy and so on.

      If you can't afford to pay your staff, you can't afford to run a business... I don't get how that became a thing with that excuse.

      @@jaredvirasami8914 Yeah I know, but then if your business isn't making enough to pay your staff, you should close your business. The only way this makes sense is if the business was still making money so they'd keep it open, but the owner was taking all the profits themselves and just being.... Well.... American

      Ombro A working relationship is just that. It goes back and forth. Clearly, the wait staff were willing to work off of tips and the customers were willing to offer tips. What this means is that it all worked to everyone's liking, so who is left to complain but someone with no involvement whatsoever? In America, no one forces you to do labor you don't want to do, and no one forces you to do business with a company whose practices you dislike (ideally. there are situations where alternatives are limited). This is why I don't quite understand the vilification of companies. So long as they act in accordance with law, their entire existence is in the hands of their workers and customers. No one part of this system can be more guilty than another. If the system is wrong, then all parties involved are in the wrong, leaving no one unscathed, forcing everyone to apologize to....oh yeah, the people who were not involved to begin with!

    In Mexico, everyone expects a tip.. tip the server, tip the guy in the bathroom who handed you some toilet paper squares, tip some homeless guy to watch your car parked on a public spot, tip same homeless guy who whistles to help you park or pull out, tip some guy who did some 10 second street performance even though you asked him to stop.
