| Generally speaking in Japan you do not tip servers in restaurants either, even in luxury ones although you might be automatically charged a service fee. So I would not see no-tipping as Bolshevik or obsolete, more of a tradition thing to me.
And yes, there are exceptions. I once saw people tipping "red hats" at PVG(those who helps you to carry heavy luggages). Maybe the exceptions can be expected only where there are more foreigners. Some restaurants in China also charge mandatory service fee, e.g. the famouse "Quan Ju De" at He Ping Men in Beijing, with service not necessarily worthing the money. |
