Tipping in England is an annoying trend of recent years. 9 times out of 10 they don't deserve it. I'll only tip IF they haven't given me agro.

No tipping in Japan is awesome, the service charge is included in the bill if there is one. No tipping and top rate service still...it's how it should be.

And uh you don't tip hosts. You can give 'underhand' money to you shimei host buuuut management for obvious reasons doesn't like it. The idea is to spend more money at the club (if you weally weallllly rove them), so they get a cut of the sales and it goes towards their monthly uriage, and if they're in the top 3 or so sales they'll get a bonus.
