I have never seen strict parenting pay off in my life

I’m Japanese. Lately, I’ve seen some foreign visitors who were impressed by Japanese hospitality saying that Japan should introduce a tipping system. However, I strongly disagree. The reason is that actions which have so far been driven purely by a sincere sense of duty and genuine kindness toward customers would be distorted by a new dynamic, throwing off the current balance. In other words, what used to be the goal—providing good service—would turn into a means to earn an incentive. As a result, the overall quality of service in Japan would likely decline. If you’re truly impressed by a staff member’s service, instead of giving them a tip, please tell the manager or owner, “That employee’s service was outstanding.” We simply want you, our guests who come to Japan for fun, to enjoy yourselves—that’s all.
