I lived in South Korea for two years, and here's the rule of tipping - there isn't any.

Leaving a tip is an insult because it means your boss doesn't pay you enough. It's "face loss" to both the employer and the staff.

I like that way better.

First time I went to Japan I left a tip on a table and restaurant personnel chased after me to give me back my money. Odd this happened at all, cos I was with my Japanese wife.

She must have missed it or maybe it was because she was living in the US at the time.

[u/HeyGayHay → u/GuillaumeLeGueux]

You have a japanese wife who was living in the US while you were in Japan? Did you switch places or what?

[u/TomSurman → u/HeyGayHay]

Except he also said his Japanese wife was with him during the Japan incident. The only possible conclusion here is that she's some kind of quantum anomaly that can exist in two places simultaneously. A useful skill to have.

[u/HeyGayHay → u/TomSurman]

I see, so she is Schrödingers Japanese Wife and he is Mr Schrödinger?

[u/temporaryuser1000 → u/TomSurman]

Probably she’s Japanese in the way OP is Irish

[u/lsiunl → u/HeyGayHay]

Clearly meant his Japanese wife had been living in the US prior to their trip to Japan so she's been accustomed to US tradition of tipping.

Also a good chance that she was born in the US but Americans will still claim that they are from another country.

[u/GuillaumeLeGueux → u/Old_Ladies]

She was born in Japan, but lived in the US at the time.

[u/GuillaumeLeGueux → u/Old_Ladies]

She was born in Japan, but lived in the US at the time.

Yeah it was a bad joke on my end haha

Ah okay makes sense, some people can be genuinely clueless sometimes lol
