In Japan, no one tips.
Not because the service is bad.
Because tipping would be an insult.
The server already gave you everything they had.
Money can’t add to that.
Japan also has nearly 14x fewer lawyers
per person than the United States.
Not because problems don’t happen.
Because most of them get resolved
before anyone needs to threaten anyone.
Think about the last time you tipped 20%
and still got bad service.
Think about the last time you paid a lawyer
just to get what you already deserved.
Japan built a different system.
Not written in law.
Not priced into the bill.
Just expected.
Of everyone.
Always. 🇯🇵
