This is offensive. You see something that bugs you in a completely
different forum, then come over here and give Sepponians a load of
shit over what was said over there. And this Dr. Phil (whoever the
fuck he may be) guy....his show on tipping, this was in relation to
tipping in Japan? Or was it by Sepponians and for Sepponians related
to tipping in Sepponia? If the latter, then who the fuck are you to be
telling Sepponians whether to tip in Sepponia or not?

Waiters are usually treated like servants at best and like something
you scrape off the bottom of your shoe at worst.

And be sure you don't tip in Sepponia. Maybe your one-man crusade will
solve a national illness.

Thanks for proving to us that not *all* the assholes in the world are
American.
