GM nostr! ☕️

Woke up with a terrible headache today, not the best way to wake up. But it’s gone now.

Random thought I had: some days I really wish I could tip people for their hard work but we have a no tipping culture here in Japan and people wouldn’t know what to do with the tip other than return it.

Imagine if you were able to start a change in the culture! A little bit of yeast leavens the whole lump. I know some people are against that kind of thing, but if it's for the good?

Try a hand written thank you note instead 💜

Man, I hate tipping as a culture. It fosters placation, flattery and synthetic connections with people as well as suppresses teamwork, cooperation and dampens the collective willingness to help others to short, commercial interactions.

Having lived in societies that have both tipping/non-tipping cultures, I'll take the non-tipping every day.

Last week a guy helped me get a package through Japanese customs, making phone calls, faxing information and sorting out the bureaucracy on his own time because he wanted to help.

Then yesterday I saw him again, we ended up having a great chat and I ended up having some ideas for him that may have returned the favour. It's such a nicer way to live with others.

In San Fran, I once asked a dude for directions and he put his hand out wanting a tip.. fuuuck that, it's so shit.

I agree, non-tipping all the way, but some days I just want to tip! 🤣
