Obviously, you've never been to Japan or Europe if you think no tipping = bad service.

What you don't understand is that tipping became a thing because racist Americans didn't want to pay newly-freed black people properly.

I just finished saying that I've been all over Japan. And you missed where I said that Japanese culture is in many ways exceptional and not like other cultures. It's not like the rest of SE Asia, for instance, where there's no tipping and you have to wait for a half hour to get your cheque.
