The real legacy is not the payment method, but this tipping culture that should be shutdowned.

The world has evolved and moved to decent fixed salaries.

Japan: amazing service, perfect food, 0 tips.

America: shitty burger joint, rude waiter, 20% tip or they chase you outside.

Also in Japan, when you need something? You just raise your hand and say "sumimasen". Instead of waiting forever or needing the wait service to constantly check in on you.

The tipping culture in the US is horrible, but not that horrible. I've never seen such a thing happen, anyway.

(fresh video, "funnily" a Japanese ramen restaurant, though I agree it's probably exceptional. At least, I hope)

I don't doubt that it happens from time to time (assholes are everywhere), but my point is that it's rare enough that I have never witnessed it or heard from any friends that they've witnessed it.

I'm an American and don't tip very often anymore. I've talked to folks who work at restaurants and this is pretty common. I also used to work in food service(8ish years).

If a place makes me bus my own table or use qr code ordering, I'm probably not tipping anymore.

I don't tip on pickup orders either. This is definitely becoming more common in the US.
