In this part of Asia, tipping is not done in any situation (restaurant, bar, bellboys, hairsylists, etc.), and the service is usually damn god. Thank God. In the states I got really tired of everyone always holding their hand out, and those tip jars in every coffee place and fast food joint? Ridiculous.
As a restaurant manager in the States, I told my staff at every preshift meeting that they had the opportunity to give themselves a raise every time they approached a table. I also made sure that they were educated about every item on the menu. I gave them every chance to make a good living under the system we were stuck with. This led to creating many regular customers, and low employee turnover.
