Ah! I missed that part. Yes, I wont disagree with the loudest part. I can also see the tipping part. I don't have a ton of experience with tips, as far as getting them, but I have given quite a few. I also don't know other countries standard of tipping. But I know when I was in Japan, the first few times I ate at a restaurant I went to tip and had to be reminded not to give one. This was the same at the bars, Im accustomed to giving a dollar here and there to the bar tender. But this is a really hard one I think because some countries don't tip at all, and the standard of tipping is different everywhere. When we had Japanese exchange students at our school we always had to remind them to tip, and how much. And even which places to tip at. You obviously don't tip someone at subway, but you do at a sit down place.
