The three places you shouldn’t tip are considered disrespectful
Anyone who has worked in a bar or restaurant knows how important a tip is to every employee. Especially when we talk about those who work during the summer months. The concept of tipping is in our DNA, with most feeling the need to reward good service rendered by someone.
But this is not the case all over 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 tips in bars or restaurants. In fact, traditional residents 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. This philosophy of life is found in some parts of Asia. Another country where tipping is almost taboo is China.
To many locals, tipping 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. This country generally has quite high wages in the tourism sector, so workers do not have to depend on the generosity of the client.
