The Japanese system is so much easier and should be introduced in the rest of the world.

I think I also paid about a 10% or 20% tip. So I could understand why the waiter’s case is not usual and that it is difficult to recieve a 30 tip. I want to be satisfied with waiters’ service in restaurants as I feel like paying a tip in Japan.

As a customer at a restaurant, you don’t pay at a cash register when you leave the premises after a meal; you pay at the table, handing the waitstaff the money. If you’re happy with the service you received from the waitstaff, you’re expected to add about 10% on top of the bill. That’s called a “tip”.

In the Valentine’s Day part, the waiter receives a 30% tip, which is pretty extraordinary and means that the customers were very, very happy with his service.

I read the writter’s blog. It made me lough and gave me a new impression of waiters on Valentine’s Day. I found they are much busier than my imagination.

I will memorize the phrase “Happy Valenswine’s Day!�.
