Somewhat. But things like not expressing your opinions is definitely not a good thing. It’s being “considerate of others”, but this makes the whole country have a cold atmosphere where nobody disturbs anyone. And its one of the sole reasons student and working life is absolute hell over there, you aren’t an individual, you’re just one more person in the crowd, thus the declining birth rate in japan and high suicide number. It might be being considerate at superficial level. But look at it more carefully and it’s actually a society killing itself slowly.

Turned out that this guy had spent decades working in foreign countries including India and called himself a foreign Japanese. He didn't give a rats ass about "disturbing" others.

Tipping is a sleazy business practice where the owner of a business puts some of the responsibility of paying their employees on their customers. It's been around long enough that people have forgotten and think it's a good thing. As an employee i would rather just get paid a consistent wage that i can live off of than worry about tips. As a customer I'd rather just pay what the price tag says and not worry about extra tip.
@kevintotte4159
@kevintotte4159 3 года назад
As a customer when an employee has been polite and did a good job I find it normal that I reward him/her as a sign of my appreciation for the effort they put in. Yes the fact that some employers use the tipping tradition as an excuse to pay their employees less is disgusting. But even if I knew the employee is receiving an adequate monthly wage I would still tip them to show my appreciation for their service if they did a good job.
@MCHuang

When Seattle first raised the minimum wage to $15 (and now beyond), a number of restaurants tried going the no tipping route.

Regarding the tipping system: It sucks. Mainly because it is a practice that leads to exploration. In American it started out with good intentions but soon companies/places would taken advantage of that system and cut short their employees wages. I believe that the japanese have it right. You are paying for a meal and shouldn't pay extra for the basic service, the employees should be payed and taken care for by the place they work in not by the customer. In my home country Portugal we actually have this sweet spot in between, tipping is NOT mandatory and NOT expected, but if for some reason you really really liked the service you can leave some coins to the waitress, like around 1/2 euros, nothing too much, or just give them the change. But it's not at all common, I never tipped in my life.

@Little Shy I mean, the initial idea of a tip is that you're giving the people servicing you a little extra for doing an exceptional job. The problem is, like OP pointed out, in the US tipping is taken advantage of by companies and employers who instead pay their employees below minimum wage which pushes all responsibility of their staff's wages onto the customers. I worked as a restaurant server for a couple years in college and my hourly pay was $3.75. Without generous tips, people in those jobs can't afford their basic living expenses.

@@Tanniss I don't think that's true; most servers struggle to make a liveable wage on tips, and the amount people tip is usually not based on how well the service is. Besides, the tipping industry in the US was literally started in the prohibition time, because restaurants were losing money from the lack of alcohol, so they implemented tipping as a way of paying their servers less. If tipping was a good and fair system, other industries would have adopted it as well; imagine if cashiers in grocery stores worked for tips as well for instance

@@rameynoodles152 i don't think its quite that extreme in japan. Once you get close to someone the rules are a lot different then lets say- a co-worker or a stranger on the street. You're probably not going to get into a political debate at a bar you've never been to or something like that but you can probably complain to a close friend. And you'll probably run into situations where they might want to "agree to disagree" but they are still willing to listen to you, its not like you can't talk about anything bad ever when you go there, but if you plan on staying there a long time its not a bad idea to try your best to know social ques (since they vary from country to country). So yeah- don't "avoid" bringing up your opinions but don't go out of your way to keep pushing for an opinion if someone doesn't seem like giving theirs. People in japan usually expect people outside of japan to act differently anyway so its not something you should worry about too much anyway.
@GwyndolinOwO
@GwyndolinOwO 4 года назад
@A water guy. there are a lot of "types" of opinions so its really hard to say which ones they are hinting at but usually if you're pushing something on someone you should either be 1. already super close to them and know their comfort levels or 2. its a bit rude anywhere in the world. People in japan aren't incapable of bringing up lighthearted stuff online, which is a lot different then real life for sure but they aren't afraid to tell you they like or dislike something, but they might not want to talk about politics with someone they just met. Basically: don't assume people in japan want to go on a serious debate, but don't be so nervous that you never bring up things you like and dislike either. there are polite ways you can do that, either in English or Japanese

@@ha22el5 The tipping system on its own isn't bad, but the tipping system was started as an excuse to pay people low wages. In America especially, the current federal minimum wage (which is already too low to begin with) is $7.25 per hour. Tipping jobs pay around $2.50 an hour because their tips are considered part of their income. So, on some really good weeks, they can make a bit more than a normal paycheck, but on regular or poor weeks, you'll be horrifically short on your check. So yeah, if the tipping system was added on top of an already secure minimum wage, then I'd be more for it. But not the way it is now.

"Maybe my cat is dead" as an answer of the question "do you have any cats?" would be very passiv aggressiv in german. If someone gives you an answer like that, he/she most likely told you already and is pissed, that he/she has to remind you. Or they just don't want to talk to you about details of their live in general. Then it depends: is the person seemingly happy talking to you, it's just a way to tell people they don't want to talk about this. But it is okay to keep talking about everyday things. If the person seems cold and reserved, they most likely don't want to know you and don't want you to know them. Then it would be awkward or even disrespectful to try to talk to them further, even if you just want to be polite. Funny how different things are.

"Do you have any pets?" "Maybe my cat is dead" Am I the only one imagining an unsure owner of a ghost cat? 😅

its not always true that servers like tipping systems cause when there is a tipping system in the US, the owners can pay the servers below minimum wage.

Its because your restaurant owners cucked your servers. Other countries has a mandatory minimum wage and optional tip.

Technically, they have to make up the difference if you don't earn the equivalent of minimum wage throughout the year, but almost no one reports their cash tips so they don't have to pay taxes on em, so good luck with proving that.

Please, tipping is a tax avoidance system popular in many places, not just the US.

They can also get paid more than minimum wage without being taxed for all of it.

@Thatshow ED tips require you to pay more taxes than a decent wage would. You lose out on money in a tip system, speaking from experience.
