In the United States, if you walk into a restaurant and leave without leaving a tip, chances are the waiter himself will confront you and demand an explanation for not leaving. Although this does not happen in Albania, the customers themselves leave small amounts as a sign of gratitude for the service they receive in the restaurant.

However, there are some countries where tipping is not only not a tradition, but is even seen as a lack of respect.

For this reason, it is important to learn, even briefly, about the basic features of the local culture before traveling abroad to avoid unpleasant situations.

One of the most striking examples is that of Japan. There, practically no one leaves a tip in restaurants or bars. More traditional people tend to consider it a gesture of contempt rather than respect.

In fact, it is something that is usually more present in the philosophy of life in some parts of Asia. Another country where tipping is almost taboo is China. It is true that the Asian giant has a way of life that is increasingly influenced by its opening to the West and that many of the Western customs are beginning to permeate the population, but tipping is still not looked upon favorably. For many residents, it is seen as an act of superiority on the part of the person paying the money, which places the person receiving it at a level of implicit subservience.

It is the same in Denmark. Normally, the restaurant bill in this Scandinavian country includes the service, so tipping would be redundant. Moreover, this country, like the rest of the Scandinavian area, generally has quite high wages in the hospitality sector – unlike the United States – so workers are not dependent on the generosity of the client for a living.
