    I was so shocked by the amazing customer service the Japanese workers gave me but never asked or expected a tip.

    That’s how the entire world works outside of NA.

      I always say it’s shocking what us Americans are accustomed to here in the US, and those that have never been outside of the country would never know these things. I also visited Australia for a bit and noticed no one asked or expected a tip as well.

      Glad I had the opportunity to see how other countries do things outside the US 🙂

        It’s becoming a bit more like that with service charges automatically added to bills in the UK, but only for restaurant meal, never for anything else.

          I once asked to have an automatic tip removed from my order at the cheese bar in Camden and they seemed ready to bite my nose off. Supposed to be a place that knows a bit about labour history, Camden. Not going back, the food was late and it all came at different times.

          As a terrible seppo immigrant I feel like I’m being chased by the terrible seppo shit I ran away from, sometimes.

      And yet there’s this myth that without tips all the workers would be lazy and you’d get no good service.

      I’ve heard and seen that repeated constantly.
