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.
This. Misleading video..

I regularly tip taxi drivers and strippers in Japan
the most tipping we have in england is “keep the change”
Yeah that's the way it is done in Germany too. In no world I would get a idea to write it on a receipt.
Occasionally we will give about £1-2 if the service is *exceptional*
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.

@@wutae6347 trash
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.
This is a funny story lol
@@larryjester minimum wage doesn’t mean livable
@@thatoneguy611 ok? it’s not the customers responsibility to fix that
Why she asked then
As a Brit, the tipping culture in the US scares me
Tan Lan as a American it scares me
Just start at 15% and go up or down based on their performance and your budget. It's not complicated.
@@SaintSC05 it's unnecessary. Just increase the minimum wage
@@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.
@@SaintSC05 The point is that no one should have to rely on tips.
Tipping: you have to pay the waiter cuase the business doesn’t want to
Skelton Slay8er same with delivery

You spelled 'cause' wrong
its a tax
It is an old custom dating back to slavery in America when employers owned the employees so they didn't have to pay anything.
"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"
i love how if you tip like 8% for food they get mad...fuck outta here...
The funny thing is, taxes only apply to prepared food.
Meaning the restaurant doesn’t pay taxes on the food they give you, but you sure as hell do
The only thing worse than prices that exclude taxes is a terminal cancer, cause if it ain't terminal I rather have the last
@@razkable yeah, now they are saying that anything under 25% is disgusting
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
Tipping in the US is just an excuse for businesses to not pay their employees

I see you watched the video too
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.
Yeah xD
Us spanish are poor don’t judge plz
@@minutoderubik736 No, we are not that poor
When i was working as a waiter im Spain, a German couple tipped me 20 euros, that was something
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.
"The surgeon is allowed to keep 15% of your appendix "

Don't tip in Japan. They literally won't know what's going on
Don't tip in pretty much any east asian countries because they also might take offense to it, the whole work ethic culture over there and all.
That's cause getting paid extra for doing exactly what you are supposed to do is a bit strange, isn't it?
@@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.
I heard that in many asian countries it is interpreted as a sign, that they didnt properly calculate their prices
Same in Australia. We won't get incredibly confused but we actually pay our waiters here and all.
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%.
😂
You could also tip your hat on the way out the door.
Fedora redditors
I too, enjoy being an asshole~
I never tip cashiers
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.
Japan has the right idea
Now that's funny
One more reason to move to Japan
Japan does like the opposite of everything
It's like that in South Korea too

I never saw anyone give a tip in france, sometimes someone throw a pocket croissant in the waiter's moustache but that's all.
Tu es le gay
My family and I always tip. Something like 1€ or 2€ if we feel generous but we tip x)

Americans say "if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out"
I say "if you can't afford to pay your staff properly, you can't afford to do business"
J4MIE96 its a six of one deal. You pay regardless. It’s just a different way of separating them. You pay a tip or they charge more and give them the money. Whichever it’s the same amount of money
and still most restaurants fail
@@cheese-je9xs The customer may end up paying the same money, but tips are untaxed money. Basically it's just something the manager does to earn more money by paying less in taxes
I never tip lmao
YES!
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.
How much?
Thats really dumb, its the persons choice to tip them in the first place. If they get mad then that's probably what they deserved to get.
@@firegirl660 idk man? Tipping is optional but their wages are cut because theres an expected tip
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
Pigeon Ale yeah, in my country we hardly tip unless the service was extremely good. Even then we only tip like 1-5 dollars lmao
I wonder if someone just tells Canada, “stop your tipping culture”, if they’d be polite and say sorry, then stop their tipping culture.
I mean, yeah probably eh? Sorry
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.
Boris Lukić yeah bro u making me wanna work at a restaurant. I love in van and my Friends who work in restaurants say it’s great.
I once had a waitress refusing to let us leave unless we tip her enough, that will be my last meal in canada for the rest of my life. Fucking hell, I thought Canada was a first world country. Never going back.
Can you elaborate more on the story? I'm curious
Yes elaborate
Was she blocking the door? I want to know more how exactly she was preventing you from leaving
@@really-shouldnt-be-here proably like arguing trying to guilt trip then.

I’m an Australian, I have never seen tipping done in Australia except when someone leaves some money on the table and doesn’t realise.
I think when I was a kid I went to a pancake place and tried to tip the waitress like 20 cents...I'm pretty sure even as a kid I could tell she was uncomfortable about whether to take the money or reject it and risk upsetting a kid
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.

Where i live tipping is not necessary its a sign of appreciating good service
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.
How considerate of them to behave like standard human being even when not getting a voluntary tip
Imagine how confused the tourists are in the USA
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?!"
Very
I wouldn't tip even if they put a gun on my head.

"I don't tip because I'm not a coward" is my new favorite excuse.
Right love it
great way to get your food spit in next time you come lmao
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 $2.13. So fuck you and fuck this video.
I live in Canada and I 100% agree to the fact that when machine defaults tipping options to 15%, 20% or 25% for a takeout. Makes me so mad. Man, it's your job to wrap a Shawarma and hand it over.
Dude in Australia we never tip, we pay the bill and that’s IT. Unless the waiter/waitress is seriously deserving of a tip, in which case we will tip 1-2 dollars
He was born in Australia
Lmao fuck that waiter does a great job. Let's just give them 2$ 😂
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?
I was going to say the same thing. Wait staff get paid quite well in Australia so tipping isn't expected.
not this dude
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.
See in Europe we all get paid minimum wage so we don’t really need it
europe is my favourite country
I think if you are tipping, don't let her know if you do
The fck are you talkin about. Tipping in europe is completely normal and accepted
Honor Réfi I don’t know which country you come from but where I live, it’s strange to do that
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. 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 yea that's what tipping should be a delight. Not what is expected like in us right now
@@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.
THANK YOU! I commented same thing but mine perished
@@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 😍
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
I can't agree more.
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?
1st world countries? Even 3rd world countries don't have that problem 🤣
Japan doesn't like tips. "Service should always be outstanding".
Gotta love how he doesn’t do his research
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.
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
“We’ve actually completely regressed to the barter system”
Wow that was eye opening
Stop tipping. Eventually resturant owners will raise the wage. Dont let Captalism manipulate your kindness.
Moto Halo no they won’t. It doesn’t affect the owners at all.
@@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.
@@motohalo8880 ask literally any bartender or server, we are very happy with the tipping system

@@ShawnJonesHellion look I'm having trouble telling wether your talking about Brittan, France, or the USA
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.
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.
@@matthewmarkham5096 Then the owner should only a allow the sale of beverages and food together.

"you might as well be doing matrix algebra" - as a mathematician I wish tipping was as simple as matrix algebra.
I still do not get what is so complicated about it?
Fundamentally it’s not. It’s just many teachers/lecturers do not explain it well and so it becomes difficult to grasp
Here's a tip for tipping.... If your bill is $55.80 move the decimal once to the left so - $5.58 X 2 = $11.16 which is a little over 20%
what's so difficult about matrix algebra
Maybe QR or eigenvalue decomposition, but matrix algebra is super easy
Tipping is a courtesy. Tipping shouldn’t be a crutch for businesses who don’t want to pay their staff.
everyone: please pay your workers
the US: 🇺🇸 😎 🇺🇸
And Canada: 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
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.

@@NathanielSnider1017 The whole civilized world, where tipping is isnt a thing, would like to disagree with you
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.
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.
what about when u go to a mid restaurant like montana's
when you go to expensive restaurants, the staff is underpaid as well.. just like the cheap restaurants, lol
Worked at a high end hotel restarurant... Dude... they paid minimum wage, barely any holiday pay, and no proper sickpay, while people spent sometimes more money on an evening than my monthly wage.
@@gazerockerzavii Go gotta ask, who's taking home the moolah? The customers are already paying a fortune. If one table spends more than your salary, all tables should account for salary of all the employees. So, the owners are basically paying you the amount for a month that they make in a day.
Yes, there's bills and rent but I don't think it will be as much. So, y'all should be asking from your employer what's rightfully yours.
@@danlightened oh i absolutely understand that they have bills.. Probably a hotel that size have a skyrocketing electricity and water bill etc...
But when i got hospitalized, they only paid the minimum sick pay provided by the government, which left me in an awful situation worring about how i will survive the upcoming months. Nearly used all of my saving to keep myself afloat. And i dont think it is right to treat emoloyees like that.
Not to mention the hotel chain made nearly everybody redundant during the pandemic while thr government had (and still has) a furlough scheme in place, but they renovated the hotel mor millions of pounds, and the chain still had a profit.
So i am sorry not sorry for not being a fan of the chain and think they are awful.

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
...meaning that he wasn't wrong about Japan in the video.
@@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.
It's mostly the same in Korea too. There are some places you can tip, but it's seen as almost an insult to a lot of people.
@@enricobianchi4499 Point is that the default is to not tip. because it is seen as insulting. Even if it's just to even out the bill.
this is correct, it is typically considered an insult to tip in japan. i lived (was stationed) there for a few years.
"Why you didn't tip me?"

For people who think it's a business strategy and such for the reason that Japan doesn't like tips, you're wrong. They don't like tips because it seems like you're passively aggressively looking down and taunting them. it comes off like going up to somebody and being like "Oh you poor thing you have a shit job and make no money here take this charity from me whos superior to you"

@@StolenPw If you want to show appreciation, becoming a regular does that already. And, you can go the extra mile and speak to the management praising them.
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.

Disrespectful because the implication is that you're tipping them because you believe their employer doesn't pay them enough. In the US, the employer will gladly fight for their right to pay their workers not enough to survive. The cultural difference is astounding.

honestly, i'm exactly the same, except i'm american so i have to deal with it xD
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

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."

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.
@@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.

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

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.

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.
