As an american who lives in a country where tipping culture is the norm AND as someone who works in a tipping job, I hate tipping culture because of the government side of things. Companies justify paying their workers low wages because they expect tips to make up the rest of it, but tips as we all know are not guaranteed. The best thing they can do is raise everyone's pay and give people an honest and fair livable wage, and if people still want to tip afterwards fine. Great. But for companies, and almost all of them do it, to use tips to justify paying their workers almost nothing is cruel.

[@supremacy2040]

Ruben Trevino ... I still find it so hard to believe that the US allows the “people” to pay the wage of those in the service industry. What other job/buisness relies on other people to pay their employees. So weird how people just accepted that.

[@kovi6203]

Yes exactly, tipping is atrocious, as it allows for exploitation of workers.

[@Thankyou99999]

I remember being confused the first time I found out about the tipping culture in america. I thought that tips were supposed to be given when you are satisfied with the service given or when you feel like giving.

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

It's not all terrible on the employees side, depending on where they work. They get that ridiculously low wage, What is it like 2.33/hour or something. But then some people take in tips that work out close to $100/hour or more. Want to guess if they all *actually* report and pay tax on that, lol?! Obviously that is an extreme case, but it is fairly regular for people that I know to clear 30-40 dollars an hour in tips.

[@benholmes8870]

I totally get you, I live in Ireland and we don't have a tilling culture here, and it's just mad to me to have to allocate part of what you want to spend on a meal on the tip in America. Surviving on tips is so unreliable and it's bad that that culture most likely won't change....

[@Dani_Reasor]

I've seen a lot of videos on what foreigners should not do when visiting one country or another. It is so nice to finally hear someone who has worked as a waiter or a waitress speak up for themselves. Yes, if I ever visit Korea, I will tip.

[@nonexistingvoid]

The main point is that it's not mandatory or expected. If you WANT to tip, you can, but no one will complain if you don't. In some countries, it might be seen as an insult, but I think younger generations will be more accepting of tips these days. It's still not the norm and companies are expected to pay their employees a living wage instead of making them rely on tips to make ends meet.

[@tkim2320]

Koreans will accept the tips and be happy (though some might flat out refuse the tip). Japan on the other hand sees the tip as an insult and you definitely should not tip in Japan. Though I feel like especially when the person you are tipping is younger, they just will be excited for the extra cash... money is money right? I wonder if it causes problems on the back end for countries without a tipping culture. Like if legally they aren't allowed to keep it or whatnot.

[@gmikaleesangmibbvip]

I do not understand what is the point of tips? You get your salary for your work... Why you need also tips? So do that in other fields like for cashier.. And so on. Why waitress are so special? 🤔🤔 I am just curious... I do not want to insult anyone... It is very interesting that this kind of culture is formed in the first place. ^^

[@silenceisbetterthannonsense]

beckteenspirit In places like the U.S. waitresses and waiters aren’t paid livable wages so they rely on tips to make ends meet. It’s an ongoing problem but tipping is seen as necessary because that’s basically a severs salary; companies use this to their advantage to not pay their workers enough because they expect the public to do it for them.

[@TheFantasyboss]

@@gmikaleesangmibbvip It's about culture. I live in Norway, and it's not normal to tip here either beacuse the waiters have a good salary, so there is no need. But it's not like we get angry if you tip, money is money. But like in the US for example, the waiter relays on the tip to get a livable salary. So it is expected to tip.

First used by the Chinese, chopsticks later spread to other East Asian cultural sphere countries including Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. As ethnic Chinese emigrated, the use of chopsticks as eating utensils for certain ethnic food took hold in South and Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. In India (mainly in Himalayan region), Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal , chopsticks are generally used only to consume noodles. Similarly, chopsticks have become more accepted in connection with Asian food in Hawaii, the West Coast of North America, and cities with Overseas Asian communities all around the globe. Chopsticks are smoothed, and frequently tapered. They are traditionally made of wood, bamboo, metal, ivory, and ceramics. But in modern days, they are increasingly available in non-traditional materials such as plastic, stainless steel, and even titanium. (๑❛ᴗ❛๑)🐼🐼🦄🦄🦋🦋🦋🦄🐼🦄🦋

During my trip to Korea, I made sure to learn some korean phrases and some of the mannerisms. It really did help! I got so many beautiful memories and experiences because the locals could see that the intent was genuine. Always try to learn a bit and don't be afraid of messing up, they'll understand you. I can't wait to go back!!!

[@kkozich]

Dama- If you don’t mind sharing, I would love to know where you went in Korea and what some of your favorites were (restaurants, sightseeing, activities, etc).

[@kpopfanphotos]

Yep! This was my experience too. Koreans are truly the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've been there 3 times in the last year and my first trip I was so nervous because it was my first time ever going to another country but they're the most welcoming people I've ever met. I'll never forget the older woman in the GS25 I went to there as I was checking out I said thank you in Korean and her face lit up. She seemed so happy to see a foreigner speaking (or in my case attempting lol) Korean and it was the most wholesome interaction I've probably ever had there. Seriously agree that learning even a tiny bit goes a long way. People really appreciate it and even then they're still very quick to helping out foreigners. Love Korea so much ❤

[@e.k_liadon]

I guess you have to take into account the fact that these two are a part of the younger generation that have grown up with a much different South Korea than the South Korea that many knew from before the war with the communists that ended with a splitting of the country.

[@TheShabzz]

Same. We're usually pretty quick to give up the seat to whom it is reserved for. I think their thinking is that someone who qualifies may not feel comfortable asking us to stand for them so they would rather leave it empty and stand than put someone in the position of having to ask.

[@kean6577]

Also there may be a woman in early pregnancy so you wont notice shes pregnant so its better to just leave it avaiable

I often worry about sitting there, even though I regularly have trouble standing and walking due to severe back pains. Being young, people often think I'm not supposed to sit there, because "young people are healthy," so I purposely bring my walking cane or crutches along to make my pain visible.

[@schneeli8198]

Pretty much the same in my country. It is even listed and called out to give seats to people who need them more. Also we use our inbuilt communication system and ask if the person needs a seat and vice versa. For what are seats there if they are not beeing used?

Although I noticed Koreans (including the elders) are more forgiving of foreigners speaking less formally.

[@EleanorHunter-jm9iz]

if you dont mind me asking what different situations would you use them in?

[@retrouvaillesm]

@@EleanorHunter-jm9iz 미안합니다 is the most formal, it's used with elders, like grandfathers and grandmothers, or like a CEO or manager...미안해요 is less formal, but still formal, you would use it with those you are not familiar with, like passerbys in the streets, train, or other public settings, also with your co-workers, and even those you are friends with if they are older than you and have not given you permission to speak informal to them. 미안해 is the lowest, very informal, used between super close friends, or towards someone younger than you or the same age, that is why the first thing most Koreans ask each other when they first meet is regarding age and sometimes even occupation, so that they can speak properly towards each other. you'll find that many kids under the age of 10 will speak informally to everyone, this is considered ok most of the time because they're too young to be able to make conscious changes in their speech so easily as adults. but if that continues throughout teens, then that child will be considered a brat and rude....that is why it's best for foreigners to learn formal Korean, with endings 합니다/요, than informal. You will be excused by younger generation if you make a mistake, but elders are way less forgiving and you could easily end up getting hit for being so rude😂

[@egonpax]

Retrouvailles Manishimwe thank you for the reply! I agree with you statement that most of the younger generation are more forgiving towards honorifics and elders can be more strict. I think that most people who have an interest in learning Korean understands the importance of honorifics pretty quickly.

[@mgnrvnn4199]

I’m gonna call them out on a small lie. Koreans do sit in the pregnancy designated areas and the elder area. I actually found a lot of them to be rude to the old people who need seats. Younger people will not get up. The respectful culture has changed a lot. It’s to the point pregnant women need a card to show they are pregnant.

[@carpetfluff35]

That's sad to hear. Here in the UK we have those same seats and it's fine for anyone to sit in them and people are generally very good about getting up if the people they're meant for board the bus. If you don't you usually get other passengers telling you to move.

Alright! I'm here again for Heejae

[@ComplacentOtter]

I'm from the US and as far as sharing plates go it isn't really something we do frequently in restaurants but it isn't so uncommon as you seem to think. It's usually called family style service and I've seen it most with Chinese restaurants and Italian restaurants. I love it because I get to taste more dishes!

[@jirehang9034]

Thank you for this wonderful tips.

[@itsRandomizer]

I don't understand what is it with my brain and korean language.. When they try to teach us some basic words/phrases I feel like I hear them correctly and I know how to repeat it, but when I open my mouth I can pretty much only say gamsamnamnaa, anyanseiyo or something similar :'D

Foreigners trying to speak Asian languages has to be funny af. No wonder the fluency of martial arts within culture!!

[@Miri-by4ii]

As a person who's really learning Korean, I find almost all Korean words difficult to pronounce at first, but just practice pronouncing it for some time. When I can pronounce it correctly once, I usually don't mess up much after. All this "imnida" and "seumnida" and "hamnida" is really difficult at first because of the "mn" sound, but you'll get used to it!

Lol I loved the whole tip do not tip. Personally I like showing gratitude to someone who treats me well so I don't ever have a problem with it. Plus it makes someone happy especially if they're not expecting it. A nice smile is a reward in itself.

When they both made an x with their arms when saying tips are not bad...i died 🙅🙅💖

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! Thank you for making this video ☺️ Ho seung and Hee Jae seem so kind and approachable! I'm a new subscriber now! I plan to visit Korea as soon as the virus is under control 👍🏻❤️

Korea: has many rules The country I live in: the only rule is don't get scammed 😂😂😂

[@kelvin869]

I loved working with Koreans here in Australia. I was their Supervisor and often helped them with english, and l leared a bit of Korean as well. I often took them to lunch and shared many local pastries and chocolates with them. I still communicate with them now they have returned to Korea. I plan to visit after Covid 19 goes away.

I swear, Hee Jae is Miley Cyrus' long lost Korean sister.

[@camelway]

So you're saying she's trash? Because Miley Cyrus definitely is trash.

[@mgnrvnn4199]

@@camelway I'm not even a big Miley fan, but your comment is so unnecessary.

[@camelway]

@@mgnrvnn4199 Facts don't care about your feelings. On a scale of 1-10, Hee Jae is 10 and Miley is -7.

camelway You don’t need to tear someone down to lift someone else up. I doubt they appreciate it.

[@dadaseyi]

From the first time I saw her, I knew she was fun. I'd hang out with her anytime, she seems hilarious.

[@JF0807]

I feel like a common theme as an American that I have seen through videos and hearing stories from others when it comes to different cultures than your home culture is that if you show you are trying to understand and fit in with theirs, they are thankful for that. A big example I have heard many times is how if you attempt to speak the foreign language, a lot of the times they may thank you and try to work on their English if they know any. I think as long as you show the intent to learn and show that you are applying said learning you can do great in any foreign country.

[@jczyver3084]

As much as I would like to visit Korea, I'm broke. Haha.

[@katarinagajic8401]

I know about their culture to share food.AND I agree with that only if we can share before eating,like in the beginning,not after like using chopsticks.

[@bluenightsky]

"Please visit us after covid" lol Ya'll remember that! Koreans don't want your stinky germs 😂 Stay safe everyone! And share your food 😃

[@melissahuerta-islas3840]

Thanks! I hope to visit soon!!!

In the netherlands in Rotterdam we have a Korean restaurant. And we love to share or food all together. The cook recommended it and you definitely get closer. We also like to tip and he was surprised, but he deserves it for his hard work.

[@chrisho1499]
