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.

@@tanlan9212 Nobody who works for tips actually wants that. A good waitress can make $20 plus dollars an hour in just tips alone. No restaurant is going to pay their staff $20 an hour.
@@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.
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.
@@Anankin12 Not a big fan of tipping here either (the money they make this way should be in their wage) but that's not why. It is simply not a custom there.
My favourite part is the end though: "and I have been in contact with my neighbour recently, who is quite handsome for his age and recently widowed" Like wtf homie isn't even literally dead yet and she got some thirst along with the food poisoning
will never forget when i walked in to get frozen yogurt with my sister and my cousin. 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%.
In Spain it's kinda like this: "The service was incredible, the food was exquisite, and the atmosphere was unforgettable, simply a superb experience..." 2 euros In USA it's kinda like this: "Everything was average, here's 18% of my entire bill because if I don't perpetuate this problem people will think i'm evil" At least that's what I've experienced.
Well..i mean, servers are kinda payed low wages so not tiping kinda says "i don't give a crap about paying the guy bringing/making the food." Should it be this way? no. Is it this way? mostly yes.
It's actually quite rude to tip in Japan because it insinuates that the restaurant doesn't pay their employees properly, and It's damaging to their image.

I worked at a semi-fancy restaurant in Australia where it wasn't uncommon to see customers leaving $20+ tips. Of course there was no obligation to tip, but many customers truly wanted to reward the staff for the quality of their service. (I'm an Australian as well)
I overestimated the cost of my drink at a bar once and walked out without collecting my change. The barstaff sent gave the change to someone I was with to hand back to me.
"So, this meal is $50?" "Not exactly, you have taxes" "Oh okay so it's $55?" "Not exactly, you have to pay a tip too" "Fine, so it's $65?" "Well, until we think of another way to rob you, yeah"
Even with tips and taxes on top, eating out in Europe is generally more expensive (in most cases for us it’s been way more expensive). So I’m not sure about tips “robbing” you lol it’s more price competitive even with tips than European countries
I live in Canada and I 100% agree to the fact that when machine defaults tipping options to 15%, 20% or 25% for a takeout. Makes me so mad. Man, it's your job to wrap a Shawarma and hand it over.
No people in Canada love tips. We pay servers minimum wage and most people tip so you basically get to have an above minimum wage job, it is great. They even split money with those in the kitchen, so I as a cook basically get $17 an hour (cad) when minimum wage where I live is $15 an hour
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.
When my parents went to America, they didn’t know much about tipping. So they tipped the waiter what they thought was more than enough, only to see the waiter getting extremely mad at them. Mandatory tipping is so stupid.
elgatochurro how is that not illegal? It’s not really up to the customer to pay the wage the waiters rely on, I think tipping is a personal choice and the business or anyone else shouldn’t force that
In China, the way we express the gratitude is simply go there more often. My dad made friends with some restaurants staff even though he never payed a single tip.
@@Tirtougay Technically it will, for the most part. The problem would be that server jobs wouldn't pay shit until businesses catch up, and unfortunately a lot of people would need those jobs. It'd be better to just force a minimum and make tipping illegal.
Like "shit, we're supposed to tip?" and "fuck, it's kinda mandatory and if i don't do it i'll feel guilty for burdening the workers and i'll also get looked on negatively by other people in that restaurant?!"
@@rienkowesterdijk6603 then don't ever visit another country. Tourists that come to the US who are ignorant to culture and customs are the worst types of tourists and makes the workers miserable
you can only say that if your a regular that comes back at least once a week. If you you write that statement on your receipt and leave, your not only a coward, your a liar also.
@@CanDoCarl Haha. True. Word does spread, though. If you live in a neighborhood with a bunch of restaraunts around you'll get a reputation for never tipping. Most servers are professional enough that they'll just put 0 effort into serving you, but a few might try for some retaliation.
When I have regulars that don't tip, I refuse service and suggest maybe they can get something to go. I'm not working for free. And the restaurant I work at goes into the computer and changes tip amounts so they don't ever have to pay anything over the $2.13. So fuck you and fuck this video.
I find it hilarious when you get prompted for a tip BEFORE anything as if its some kind of protection money to the mafia. Like ordering a pizza online. "Its sure would be a shame if anything were to happen to this pizza."
Same with doordash, you gotta tip the dasher when you pay your bill, it's ridiculous. It makes sense to have the tipping option after the order is complete based on the quality of the service.
Dude in Australia we never tip, we pay the bill and that’s IT. Unless the waiter/waitress is seriously deserving of a tip, in which case we will tip 1-2 dollars
agreed - the closest it comes to is "keep the change" - usually only for pizza delivery, and other such services - and rarely over a few dollars.... "$48.20 - handed a $50 note - keep the change." not really a tip, but kind of I guess?
But apparently american tourists do. So that either leaves the workers extremely grateful for the extra change or running after them confused as to why they accidentally left their money on the table, reasoning that a 'normal' guy never tips in their country. Much less of all people tip THEM. It's just not a thing, but it's a delight when it happens. Some japanese workers do accept tips if it comes to them, with the bowing and all for the tipper's generosity. While some politely don't.
@@aureliaavalon It's actually rude because it insinuates that the restaurant doesn't pay their employees properly. Waiters will attempt to give you back the money if you try to tip them.
@@meixiuyi6560 I visited Tokyo last year and asked the people why that's the case in Japan. They told me as a owner of a Restaurant you are really grateful to the people who visit you. It's just weird why would they give you extra money for that. They think the restaurant owner should tip the guests. It's just a completely different mindset and I love it 😍
The bottle of wine thing is a perfect example. I was called out once on social media for almost the exact same thing with the exact same price. All the person did was bring me the bottle. I’m suppose to tip $20 for that?
From a servers perspective, you're still occupying a table in their section. If it's busy and you take your time sipping wine, that means the waiter loses out on customers who would order multiple things and bw likely to tip normally. If it's not busy I wouldn't be too mad about a lowball tip. It's kinda dumb but thats why servers get annoyed by the scenario you described.
Yeah when we travel to japan may old man tip this waiter and he just look at us with a unsatisfied look. Then we ask the friend of my dad he says japanese worker expect to give 105% performance to their work so when you give them tip they consider it as insult because they don't do their job as expected.
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.
Eric L yeah when people deliver to me they knock, leave the package, and I’m pretty sure they just try to get out of there as fast as possible, because when I opened the door, the guy seemed to be sprinting away.
It can be alot more. If you work at a location serving large groups of customers resulting in bills of excess of $100 dollars, and you only manage to serve 3 groups an hour. 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.
Okay but there is one upside for the employee: you have the chance of making like $15 an hour if you get lucky which is probably just under twice your normal wage.
As an Australian my brother who works in a restaurant basically receives a really good wage then on top of that receives additional tips quite often. But he gets tipped because he is nice, friendly and the customers like him. It just feels weird the idea that you have to tip.
In general, you don't tip in Japan. Most shops have a higher prices or salary which include the tip. Sometimes you see a sign at the entry, which indicates that you can tip if you want
@@enricobianchi4499 yes and no, it seemed like it was normal practice in Japan, in the way he said it. But most of the time, in Japan it is even considered a little bit rude to tip if there is no sign. And the waiters then can't accept the tip, which would be the common practice.
I tipped in Europe, and the waitress looked at me like I was insulting her and her entire bloodline. I picked my money back up and she turned her chin up like I needed the money more than she did.
In South africa its actually quite rude not to tip your waiter except when they gave shitty service. Or atleast thats how most people see it in my area because their wages isnt usually good and is mostly students
In South Africa it's common practice to tip 10%, at least where I am. Some people only do that for really good service but most just tip 10% all the time
I always love when someone defends tipping in America, and acting like abolishing it would ruin whole restaurant industry. Like very other first world country doesn't have that problem lmao
Especially because as an American, there's already an idea of "It doesn't affect me, so I don't care." But suddenly we do when it's an exploitative business model we don't even benefit from?
When I go to cheap restaurants I don’t tip because the sole reason I am there is because its cheap, when I go to expensive restaurants I don’t tip because the food is expensive and the staff is paid good.

@@gazerockerzavii Go gotta ask, who's taking home the moolah? The customers are already paying a fortune.

It's pretty easy honestly if u want to tip. Just take the price of the meal and move the decimal point one space to the left and that's 10%. Say u have a $12.56 meal. Round it down to $12.50 and move the decimal. Now the tip is $1.25. if u want to give 20%, double the number and it's $2.50

So I really don't feel bad about hardly tipping when that happens. This is in BC btw.
The only one's we tip here is ppl in hard or dangerous jobs Wich generally only includes pizza delivery guys and internet/cellphone repair guys (it's run by the goverment and thus it's free, no meddling yet with the internet so can't complain) i've heard that some also tip gas station employees (because there's no goddamn self service), in the other hand they also offer to wash your windows for free so in that case i would tip too
I used to work at a Papa Johns and whenever someone would pay with card I would press the 0% for them when the automatic tip screen that popped up. I thought it was ridiculous that it was even a thing, like why would anyone tip at a fast food restaurant.
Sometimes in really high-end restaurants they do have the option. but remember that to tip 10$ in the EFTPOS machine you need to type 1-0-0-0, otherwise you'll tip 10cents. It happened to me once, and I laughed at my mistake... the waitress didn’t find it funny :(
and typically takes about 3-8 months to find a job, where as every other place in the USA has a help wanted sign. We have centrelink, yanks don't get any dole unless they had just been fired.

USA restaurants have better service and more consistent food quality [as a whole, and i don't care about COPE myths aussies tell themselves about USA food being not as healthy, meat pies and parm ;3], but mandatory tipping can fuck right off!
Waiters make really good money in the big cities because they get minimum wage ($11 in California) plus tips. The reason why many of them choose to work there is because it's one of the best jobs available for someone with no education/skill.
Where I work there’s a joint tip box and the tips are shared out based on the number of hours you do, so if you work more hours you get more money from tips
Irishman here, we are used to it. It is one of the reasons we drink so much.

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."

Here, this is to make up for it".
they should take out tips in america since the restaurant should just pay the employess that 15-20% anyways. Tips are meant to be extra, not their life
Problem is, that is their life. They live off tips and most paychecks come through "void" because that barely pays the taxes... They'd make it like auto shops if they could, with labor calculated in from the beginning, but servers don't get that power. I was one, got fired because my boss wouldn't give me a living wage when tips were barely making minimum wage, or not at all.

My first experience in America as a Brit was getting a taxi in New York and having to ask the guy for my change cos he thought I was straight up gonna pay $100 for a 30 minute drive when it came to $80. I'd usually tip in America cos I'm aware of the customs there, but if you're overcharging me already you can get f**ked.

@@_Butt_Fart for a round trip, that journey would have used less than a gallon of fuel, meaning it was no more than $3 for him. So he's basically making $77 per hour doing trips like that. That's insane. Even if he only did like 5 of those trips a day he'd be taking in upwards of $100,000 a year. If he worked a ten hour day driving at that price per hour, five days a week, and always had customers, it could be as high as $200,000 before tips. I'm not saying he's gonna be making anywhere near that, but that's an idea of how disproportionate the taxi fare was for how far I actually went (16 miles). The taxi fare to JFK when I was leaving was almost exactly the same distance, took longer, and cost no where near as much.

In Australia I would strongly encourage visitors to ask the server where the tips go before leaving a tip, the reason for this is because it is actually very common for the staff to not be allowed to keep their tips, or they can keep their tips BUT! they are not allowed to keep their own, when I was working in a restaurant, they would collect all the tips at the end of the day and spread they out evenly to everyone, regardless of if you worked harder or worked more hours and actually earned more tips. ALWAYS ASK WHERE THE TIPS GO!
As someone who has worked in a lange Ice cafe in Germany for quite some time next to my studies and school i have to say I like the concept of shared tips. We always put everything together and shared it between the whole staff (excluding the boss of course) according to our hours. 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. No one ever complained about it because it felt fair and we were a team... 🤷🏽♂️
You’d think tipping would incentivize better customer service then you go to japan and wonder why the hell you’ve been tipping your whole life. Better food, better service, papa Japan’s.
id assume the same since America is generally a rude nation over the recent years. but every interview i see with japanese people about japanese service, they always say theyre rude (mainly fast food places in japan). idk how true it is but most of them say it, then again japanese people may be more inclined to be courteous towards foreigners rather than their race for business reasons? idk.
@@MurdermiesteR America just sucks at service, at least when it comes to regular restaurants. Waiters feel entitled to tips so they won't give you better service if you tip, but they will give you worse service the next time if you don't tip.
@@alexv3357 If they are working at a nice restaurant, they do get paid more. Most people aren't. Most of them are paid less than 1000 yen per hour in Tokyo, which is much less than California because you don't get tips in Japan.
It is. Truth be told they make tons of money and the restaurant doesnt have to pay. Not only that it allows their prices to be lower and more customers come. And most places still pay minimum wage and add the tips.
here in aus when employees are underpayed they're compensated for and absolutely attacked from the rest of the country (prime example that recent situation with the master chef guy), we don't really tip unless there's tip jars. i've eaten with many people and not once have i ever seen somebody tip, even the ones with more money. america needs to get their shit together and pay their staff decent wages
Blame republicans. Probably. I mean, they *are* the ones that don't want us to have free health care, education, subsidized housing, etc, and are always anti regulations of any kind.
Tipping was introduced to America during the Great Depression when restaurant owners claimed they couldn't pay wait staff and instead told them to accept tips instead.
@@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.
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.

I used to tip the delivery guy of a takeaway I liked. But since just-eat and stuff like that it seems pointless.
As it should be.
@@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.
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.

No people in Canada love tips. We pay servers minimum wage and most people tip so you basically get to have an above minimum wage job, it is great. They even split money with those in the kitchen, so I as a cook basically get $17 an hour (cad) when minimum wage where I live is $15 an hour
Slurpin Salamander yea. But it should be that you tip for service. It is, after all, a commendation of outstanding service
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.

When I have regulars that don't tip, I refuse service and suggest maybe they can get something to go. I'm not working for free. And the restaurant I work at goes into the computer and changes tip amounts so they don't ever have to pay anything over the $2.13. So fuck you and fuck this video.

Tipping is a courtesy. Tipping shouldn’t be a crutch for businesses who don’t want to pay their staff.
No one tips in Japan. It is considered disrespectful and weird.
But apparently american tourists do. So that either leaves the workers extremely grateful for the extra change or running after them confused as to why they accidentally left their money on the table, reasoning that a 'normal' guy never tips in their country.

From a servers perspective, you're still occupying a table in their section. If it's busy and you take your time sipping wine, that means the waiter loses out on customers who would order multiple things and bw likely to tip normally. If it's not busy I wouldn't be too mad about a lowball tip.

Interesting how people take this "casually" explained video dead serious
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.
Be Ron That literally makes zero sense
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.

It can be alot more. If you work at a location serving large groups of customers resulting in bills of excess of $100 dollars, and you only manage to serve 3 groups an hour. 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.

As an Australian my brother who works in a restaurant basically receives a really good wage then on top of that receives additional tips quite often. But he gets tipped because he is nice, friendly and the customers like him. It just feels weird the idea that you have to tip.

ALWAYS ASK WHERE THE TIPS GO!
As someone who has worked in a lange Ice cafe in Germany for quite some time next to my studies and school i have to say I like the concept of shared tips. We always put everything together and shared it between the whole staff (excluding the boss of course) according to our hours. 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. No one ever complained about it because it felt fair and we were a team... 🤷🏽♂️
You’d think tipping would incentivize better customer service then you go to japan and wonder why the hell you’ve been tipping your whole life.

Easy answer. Japan has a culture of high personal and social responsibility. There aren't even garbage cans on most city streets.
id assume the same since America is generally a rude nation over the recent years. but every interview i see with japanese people about japanese service, they always say theyre rude (mainly fast food places in japan). idk how true it is but most of them say it, then again japanese people may be more inclined to be courteous towards foreigners rather than their race for business reasons? idk.

Tipping was introduced to America during the Great Depression when restaurant owners claimed they couldn't pay wait staff and instead told them to accept tips instead.
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.
Ombro it was during the great depression. the stock market crashed
@@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!
