Dim Sum: $5 tip too much for $50 bill?

[NikolaeVarius]

Asians who were born in Asia are extremely cheap tippers...

Probably because there are no tips in Asia.

The mindset is that you're working for me/business. Why should a customer have to compensate someone for doing the job you're expected to do?

One could argue Americans are wasteful tippers by tipping 15%.

Completely false.

1. Servers are paid a lower hourly wage, which helps keep business costs down which presumably gets passed down to the customers.

2. Servers actually have incentive to do a good job and provide good service.

that's as golden as gospels.

Ah, but then I wouldn't have the fun of talking out of my ass.

1. Not in California. Even in other states, there are other suckers that pay 15+% tip so same shit.

2. Thanks for the laugh.

Yup people seem to forget that we're one of the few places anywhere that tips.

I was told not to tip in Japan. I did anyway and no one ran after me when I left so I guess it's ok.

They were probably too shocked and dumbfounded by the stupid white man that left his money on the table.

I don't believe in tip. If your boss hired you to be a server/waiter, that's your job. I have worked in retail and people tried to hand me tips and I refused every times. They just look embarrassed when I don't take it. Though, I do tip my barber, a lot too.

4 bucks (per table...) for breakfast dim sum in the morning, no matter how much you eat. 15% for everything else.
