Tipping culture is getting a little out of hand these days
It's just what I've noticed especially in Asian restaurants (before you call me racist, I'm also asian).
Last week, me and my friends went out to eat in a nice sushi restaurant. We are students so we only do it once in a while. This time cost us around 40 euros each. Mine was like 36 euros. I paid first and paid 40 euros intending 4 euros as tip for the whole table which was 5 people. But the server continued to ask for tip money from all 5 of us. It was also a little uncomfortable for us.
I also just went out and had a dinner at a Korean restaurant with my boyfriend. When the waitress found out, he didn't pay tip, she stopped smiling, didn't look at us anymore and just "Danke. Tschüss". Didn't even bother offering us our receipt. We usually pay tips like rounding up but sometimes the food is already expensive enough for us so we don't tip sometimes. Also in this particular restaurant, we had to scan QR code to order digitally and the only service we received was our food being delivered to our table.
I know in USA it is normalized and service workers make their living on tips money. I also worked as service worker in a cinema for about 2-3 years. I rarely got paid tips. Though the salary is not that great, I didn't have to depend on tip money.
But tbh like I said I'm a student and can't afford to eat out normally so maybe it's normal and I just didn't know. Please let me know your opinion and correct me if I'm wrong.
