I feel like the response video that Chris Broad made to this trend of reaction videos to this video is sorely lacking in recognition for this woman. She was, in my opinion, even nicer and more informative than even GeorgeJapan was in his video. I feel I actually learned something here and that is nice.

Tipping is so common in the USA, it seems, because in many cheap cafes and fast food restaurants, workers are not paid enough to even rent an apartment in their area. Tipping culture seems to be employers throwing their responsibility to pay their employees on customers. In reality the employer should, no, must, be paying a livable wage to workers. (That is what I learned from my American friends.) I also am confused in my country often, because nowadays some places don't expect you to tip, some do, and it's hard to know which is which sometimes 🤷 also I often use a my salary card to pay, and don't want to struggle with coins or paper money when it is inconvenient

tipping in general is so frustrating because BOTH the employer and the employees benefit from it. the employer doesn't have to pay proper wages, and the employees tend to get a LOT more money in tips than they otherwise would if they were just being paid a normal wage for that amount of work. The customers are the ones who are being screwed over.
@butterflyspinart
@butterflyspinart Год назад
By law in the US, tipped jobs must receive minimum wage, even if their hourly wage is below minimum wage. If the tips don't add up to above minimum wage, the employer is responsible for the difference.
@dogwalk3
@dogwalk3 Год назад
@@Ausar0the employee is the only one benefitting - everyone who works in a tipped job knows exactly what the average rate is & that's the same rules for the position you'll find anywhere across the country. it isn't "more money" for the employee," it's just the wages required to pay them & the employer isn't paying them, so it falls on the costumer - at the same time, as a customer, it is well known that the prices on the menu aren't the actual cost - it's always +20% higher for tip. if someone wants to pay more than 20%, it's because the employee helped them have a great experience & they're tipping the individual for making their day. bad employees don't continue to workin positions that get tipped. being skilled both at work & entertaining a guest isn't something everyone has. it's a meritocracy.
@Ausar0
@Ausar0 Год назад
@@dogwalk3 no? The employer not having to pay an actual wage does, in fact, benefit the employer. If the employer had to actually pay a wage, they would be paying like $10-$15 at most. Most servers get much higher rates from tips. It benefits both. The customer is the only one being screwed over.

Also, in regard to taking your shoes off before entering a private residence, it might also depend on the weather outside. If it's a dry, sunny day, we Americans would probably just walk right in, wearing our shoes. However, if it's raining or snowing, we would consider taking them off, or at least wiping our shoes on a mat before entering.

I lived in Japan, Misawa Air Base, for about a year before. I was surprised when I went to a festival how it seemed like everyone simply left their trash sitting wherever they ate their food. When we left, there was trash EVERYWHERE! It was horrible. I don't remember why, but I was back in the same area the next morning fairly early and it was completely clean again! I got to see a truck drive by slowly with about 5 people in vests walking alongside, picking up trash and throwing it into the truck. That moment made me wonder if Japanese people in general are non-litterers, or if the cleanup crews are just that amazing. I still can't figure it out!

My Dad was in Japan when I was born, he once tried to tip a waitress and soundly scolded him as she said she was NOT a “Businesswoman “.

@SpeakJapaneseNaturally

Yes, it was 1954-55. My father felt that as he had to be there anyway, he would work with local missionary. In the process he managed to learn a crass form of Japanese language. For instance he learned to ask for washrooms with the phrase “ Benjo wa, dyoko desuka” which is , as I said, very crass. Many other expressions, likewise rude, were common among the soldiers. He also ran into a problem of learning some Japanese from female co-workers, which in some instances is gender specific. I’ve also been told that he speaks with a Tokyo accent, which is humorous to some. I’d like to learn to speak it, so that I might actually hold a conversation with my father as much for the fun of it, as any other reason.

Some lof these "rules" are almost universal, anyway. As far as the business cards are concerned, an American like me would eventually put the card into his wallet, because he wouldn't want to lose it. I would probably do the same, but I'd make sure to show some respect before I did. And about crossing the street against the light, it might depend on whether there are young children around, too.

That's a good question..., we bow two or three times at a time and the bows become lighter and maybe only the nod at last. Maybe smile at the end would tell it's time that you stop bowing and leave

Why do some people think rubbing sticks 100% GUARANTEES the splinters will come off?! That's insane! These people don't understand basic physics. If the wooden sticks has splinters (I think nowadays it's probably very rare duo to the technology that produces even cheap sticks), there's a high chance the splinters will remain there. It's better to hand pick them.

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally The tipping culture here has several aspects of it that can make it seem like you're playing a game. 20% is pretty standard, but the amount might depend on other factors, i.e how long did you stay? Did you have many requests? How busy was the restaurant? How fast do the tables turn over for new customers? I guess if I had a very helpful waitress in Japan, I would probably leave a tip, but I would be very discreet about it..

Normal for my part of the world. Why are there not ever any 22 cm to 25 cm for foreigners? I lived in Japan 1965 to 1975 and I live in Cambodia now and there is the same problem with bathroom slippers in Cambodia. Many Asians are taller and lager in foot size than I am and yet the slippers are always size 7.

Konnichi wa or konban wa (depending on local time)! Excellent video, meiyo aru josei. Your english is excellent and you are very cute (I think the word in Japanese is "kawaii" or 可愛い?). I was about 18 years old when Aum Shinrikyo attacked the Tokyo subway in 1995. I have always been interested in Japan & it's history, especially the end of the Sengoku period (the chronology from Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to Tokugawa Ieyasu & the Tokugawa Shogunate), the Meiji Restoration & the Sonnō Jōi movement, & the Showa Era. The subway attack broke my heart. I could not believe such a thing could happen in Japan. I wept for the victims & Japanese people. I read recently that Shoko Asahara was finally executed. I don't celebrate anyone's death, but I was relieved to hear he was gone (I'd heard he still has some supporters in Japan even now).

@SpeakJapaneseNaturally 3 года назад
Thank you for your comment. Wow, you know well about Japanese history. You might know more than me! I was a high school student, too, when the subway attack happened. So I remember how shaky the society felt from the attack. I'm not in favor of capital punishment, but that the Aum Shinrikyo still exists with different groups and names makes me upset.😞
