It's cultural. You can get amazing service in other countries with little or no tipping culture.
Sure, tipping may be an incentive as well, but most people I know won't go below 10% even if the service is terrible.
- emptysongglass 6y agoWhich other countries with little to no tipping culture do you receive amazing service? Again, I am curious, not combative, so please take care if applying disdain to my comments.
- tomp 6y agoJapan. Really awkward as well. Basically the whole staff was waving at us until we went around the corner and they couldn’t see us any more. Didn’t know what to do - ignore, acknowledge, turn back and keep eye contact while still walking forward, smile, stop, wave ... This was a high-end restaurant though.

- pelliphant 6y agoIn my opinion, I get amazing service in Denmark. I would guess that what I consider to be amazing service isn't the same thing as what you would consider to be amazing service.
- sokoloff 6y agoJapan. Phenomenal service every single place I went and some was so good we tried tipping only to be chased into the street to have the “mistake” fixed.
- abandonliberty 6y agoTaiwan as well Outside of that it's on an establishment by establishment basis. I know an amazing restaurant in a less touristic Paris arrondissement that will provide stellar service no matter who I show up with or how terrible my French is. Their menus are only in French. If I'm not fast enough the staff notices I'm using a translation app and starts translating it into English. This in the city of famously terrible service.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 6y agoThe service you get in the US is very annoying to people not used to it. Fake-smiling at me especially.
