I've been to four places without tipping in restaurants, Italy, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. I would say all of them had better service than here in the US. In particular, the East Asian countries I visited all have _excellent_ service without tips.
I suspect quality of service has a lot more to do with cultural factors unrelated to tipping.
- Para2016 9y agoItaly? I don't believe your experience was universal.
- thecompilr 9y agoI experienced nothing but exceptional service in Italy.
- toyg 9y agoAs an Italian, I'm happy that at least somebody did get great service :) To be fair, it really varies so much between regions and even towns. Restaurants are usually ok, but regular shops in big cities... eh.
- autarch 9y agoI was just referring to my restaurant experiences, which ranged from fine to excellent.
