I'm Ready To Go NOW!

We had a suggested tip of 30% on our bill from Kobe in May 2019, and that was after tax not before. We were in the normal restaurant and not at the “display” table.

You’re a braver man than me. I wouldn’t start off assuming no tip at all, and certainly not in a place I might want to go back to. Even 10% won’t be well received I don’t think.
I don’t particularly agree with it, but I’m resigned now to starting off at 15%. I won’t be going any higher no matter what happens and they’d have to seriously mess up to get less. I’m just going to budget it in as a cost of doing business there and stop worrying about it. |

I think you're all really cheeky and a little rude.
I'm well aware that we can choose to eat QS thank you - and if we wanted to go to Japan we would do, thank you for your unwanted advice too! Let me make it clear - we have never complained about tipping. We've been going to the US for 25 years and have always tipped wherever we've stayed - and usually tipped well. We also tip in the UK and Europe, though not as much. I originally only objected to the fact that tip % has gone up from 10% over the years, to the 15-25% that it is now - not the actual tipping, meal prices, service or the culture. I've been on the Dibb for enough years to know that sometimes mob mentality takes over on threads like this - presumably you were all affected! I'm out.

I have to say I have noticed it on this site and also a couple of cruise sites I am on, and it apears to me that British people almost use tipping as a way of showing off how much money they have and trying to demean people who save up for a once in a life time experience that they couldn't normally afford and object to then having to pay a substantial amount more again just because the employers dont want to pay their staff properly.

Can you go back and look at the post of yours I quoted please: https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...4&postcount=89
You can see that you didn't mention anything about not objecting to tipping. In fact it came across as the complete opposite. I'm sorry if you thought I was being rude or cheeky, it wasn't my intent. What I do find rude and cheeky though are people who visit another country and then complain about their customs.

I was aware what you were answering, and had you followed my comments earlier you would have realised I was querying someone else's thoughts on what constituted service - nothing else.
If your last comment refers to me then you're out of order as we've travelled all over the world and always respect other cultures and expectations. I said in my last post 'I'm out' and this time I am, I won't answer again for someone to be rude.

You won't see this because you're "out" but I apologised if you felt I was rude and cheeky. If my last comment referred to you I would have stated you rather than generic "people". It was not aimed at you personally.
