Question:
so you guys tip waitresses and that yeah?
what happens if you dont, like you pay at the till but she's like waiting there for a tip and you're like, sorry i'm british and dont pay the tip
will that really offend everyone and what would happen? cause i really wouldn't pay up...
Answer:
....Why is this posted in the JAPAN section?
Anyway, we usually either leave tips on the table or, if paying by credit card, write the tip amount in the space provided and then adding it to the total. The chances of the waiter or waitress being there at the till with a hand out for a tip is really low.
But if it were me, I would think you were horribly rude. Part of being polite when you go somewhere else is trying to learn the tipping customs and following them. These people earn below minimum wage and rely on tips to make up the rest of their income, so when you don't tip them you're just hurting them. If you're not willing to at least try to deal with foreign customs, maybe foreign travel isn't for you.
