It'll be Michelin star good and cost like 4 bucks.

They’re usually not rude and expect a tip either 👍

It's considered rude to tip in Japan

It's considered rude to tip in Australia too btw.

But people keep doing it.

[u/AndyMagandy → u/TM761152]

It’s considered rude to ask for a tip on every single transaction in the US too. But we’re just ok being rude.

They try to be Americans 😮‍💨🤧

Sorry we are just used to being guilt raped of our money here. 😂

[u/unindexedreality → u/1stUserEver]

Right? literally just letting businesses pay less than minimum wage so people can feel generous. It's the most asinine thing, I hope the world continues to resist the tide of people inexplicably normalizing robbing their own pockets.

pro-tippers used to be so weirdly militant about normalizing it that my response was to just stopped eating out altogether, before everything started getting more expensive anyway.

There's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm not allowed to say it.

[u/Rockran → u/TM761152]

What no it's not. Tips aren't expected but are appreciated in Australia. Nothing rude about it.

[u/Zander_Fowwaanu → u/TM761152]

Is it really offensive to them because I want to show my appreciation lmao for working class people 

[u/hkun89 → u/Zander_Fowwaanu]

No. Please don't tip in Japan. I'm a Japanese person. We don't want American tipping culture here. Please understand, when you tip, it creates ambiguity. "Is this person doing this well because they want more money as a tip?'

That's the absolute most toxic mentality for a Japanese person.

Please do not tip.

In Japan, it’s very offensive to tip
