i knew + had a visit by a dane. he didn't tip either. i had to explain that staff in america are paid shit unlike in europe where they get a living wage. i am sure he felt bad about his 1st 3 weeks of not tipping. shame we can't tell all the euroes that.

I was told that in Japan, a tip was an insult. Owners and managers of restaurants, may need to add to the menu some kind of explanation about our tipping customs or inform that the prices include a percentage for services.
