RE: Tipping Culture Creeps into Japan

I hate tipping culture here in the US now, everybody wants tips. I almost expect to start seeing tip jars in doctor's office at the rate things are going. I only tip in a sit down restaurant where there is a server brining you food. I refuse to tip at fast food places or coffee shops. It's ridiculous. And you are right, many of the tips go to the corporation and not the employees. The system is broken here and needs to change.

I sincerely hope the tipping nightmare doesn't take hold in Japan, it's a nightmare!
