The three places you shouldn't tip are considered disrespectful
Anyone who has worked in a restaurant knows how important an extra tip is to every employee. Especially when we're talking about those who work during the summer months and run up and down so we don't miss anything. The concept of tipping is in our DNA, with most of us feeling the need to reward good service rendered by someone.
However, this is not the case in all parts of the world. There are places where if someone dares to tip, it can be misunderstood and cause trouble. One such country is Japan , where no one leaves extra tips in bars or restaurants. In fact, its more traditional inhabitants tend to consider it a gesture of contempt rather than respect.
This is due to a very particular perception of work. With the exception of very specific places like hostels, virtually no business expects the customer to make additional payments of any kind. This philosophy of life is found in some parts of Asia.
Another country where tipping is almost taboo is China . It is true that the Asian giant has a way of life that is increasingly influenced by its opening to the West and that many of our customs are beginning to be adopted by its population, but the habit of tipping is frowned upon. To many locals, this is seen as an act of superiority on the part of the person giving the money, which places the person receiving it in a lower class.
Something similar happens in Denmark . Normally, the restaurant bill in this Scandinavian country includes the tip in the final amount, so it would be unnecessary for customers to offer anything more. Moreover, this country, like the rest of the Nordic region, generally has quite high wages in the tourism sector, so workers do not have to depend on the generosity of the client.
