[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American service industries incorporate tipping because the owners are incapable to make sure their staff provide the prompt level of service. Neither do they have guts to increase the price outright. Tipping is basically a scam where owners abuse customer's kindness to motivate their own employees. In the restaurant business it's even worse. Owners just cut the employee's pay, and simply take all the tipping into their pockets.

Nobody tips in Asian countries like Japan, China, Taiwan... I don't see their service level going to hell. Actually the service is usually better than these spoiled "service professionals" in the US.[/quote]

+ 100. 
So much discussion how tipping is important. All you idiots who call others jerks who don't tip why don't you find another outlet for your very deviated sense of charity. Send some money to a hungry child or an old person. 
Why is there no discussion on how restaurant owners, hotel owners get away with paying pittance while they are taking it in!!!
A cab driver who owns his own can is doing very well for himself. We have one in our neighborhood. Has 5 kids (yes 5!), a wife who doesn't work, his parents and he is a cabbie. His personal car is a BMW and he lives in a $700k house. Been doing that for 20+ years and now has 3 other illegal cab drivers drive for him and make money off of him and you pay such people 20% tips.

I'd rather pay the guy who lifts heavy weights, the nurse who cleans you or the PT who helps stroke patients.

I had a restaurant server run after me once to ask why I only tipped 10% and then in response to my comment said, "doesn't matter service, everyone tips minimum 18%".

I've received excellent service in Asia and had to pay no tips. I felt like doing charity there and spent $$$$ to different causes.
