Tipping on Tours

I work in the tour industry.
Compared to people from other countries, Japanese people tip extremely little. Perhaps it is because you don't know, but I have lived in the U.S. for a long time and sometimes I don't like the fact that Japanese people don't have a good reputation. I will write this in reference to the tips I myself pay in Hawaii or when I go abroad. By the way, I am not particularly rich and have a normal income & When I act with my foreign friends, the other party is also like this.
restaurant ( sit down meal ) = 20%, at least 15% if service is slow or something
pick up of hoardings or drinks at a take-out store = $ 0 to lowest option ( 10, 1 5% or $1, etc., depending on terminal )
Valet car rental, etc. at hotel ( Tipping staff for valet services = $5 to
Tipping tour guides and others who have helped you = $10 or more, $20 or more for group participation. More if there is a high level of satisfaction or if the service is above normal expectations.
I understand very much that the yen is weak, but I am very disappointed when I see people tipping less than $5 on tours.If you would like to know more, please let me know...

Post subject.
#14 Mr. G
> I heard that the tour guide is charged $ 10-20, but if I ask him to drive on a private tour, what would be a reasonable price ?
$ I was thinking of giving him 18-23% of the amount, not 10-20.?
How long did you stay with us and did you treat us well ( Did you take pictures for us, did you take care of us, did you take care of us in any way, etc.? ) I think it depends on
how long they have been with you, how special they are to you,whether they took your picture, took care of you, etc. I have worked with both Japanese and foreigners in the tour and service industry, and I have received over $100 per group for private tours like the one you are talking about. The biggest tip I ever received in my life was about 150,000 dollars, but in the case of tours, I can work a full day and leave with about 100 dollars per staff member.
For myself, when I go to a destination and join a group tour, I give $ $10-$20 each ( for example, x2 ) if my partner and I are traveling together, and more than double that for a private tour.
By the way, when I moved to Hawaii over 10 years ago, I used to pay $3 for valet too. With rising prices, $3 doesn't even buy you a cup of coffee........................ If they don't give me less than $10-20 per head for a tour, I think they have no manners.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I think it's time to revisit the almost exclusively American practice of mandatory tipping. It should only be allowed if the service was so good that
it was deemed worthy of tipping in the restaurant originally.
It's not right in the first place for business owners to charge their customers a tip for not paying their employees a standard salary, and if they don't tip bus drivers, for example, why is it halfway compulsory in cabs?
Also, why is it necessary to tip people who should have a license and a reasonable salary, such as hairdressers and massage therapists?This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think it's time to rethink the forced tipping practice. I agree with the opinion that.
I think people who work for a tipped job are mistaken. The correct way to think about it is that we are essentially living paycheck to paycheck, and we happen to be grateful ! that tips are added to that.
But I'm paralyzed, and I get angry when I get a small tip because I think that the tip I calculated in my head is added to my standard salary.
It's hard to live in Hawaii with high prices and a life you can't afford, but smile, talk to each other, and have fun.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I totally agree with #16 and #17.
The bad system of tipping customers to cover the exploitation by the business owners.
Only in the U.S., really. Forced tipping of customers.
The tipping system should be abolished.I think it is up to the customer to give a little as a gratuity for the excellent service he/she received. This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Mr. Question
Mr. Question 2
The custom of tipping is not mandatory, it is what it is.It's not quite the same as "business owners charging customers tips for not paying their employees a standard salary."
I understand that tips are separate.
I agree with you that tipping is not customary. ( I work in the beauty service industry )
When I deal with customers from Japan, I don't get angry about the amount of money because I honestly don't expect it, but compared to people from Europe and America, I often feel that Japan has not changed yet because of their dull senses, I often feel disappointed that Japan has not changed yet.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
