No service, no money We all know that in the USA people tip almost everybody where there is a service, at a hairdresser, in a taxi, in a restaurant at coat check, in a hotel a bell-boy. But in Russia that is not the case. Yesterday I decided to order some pizza from the local branch of Papa Johns, and I faced a lot of troubles like not answering the phone call and long wait. I spent 2 hours in waiting for my pizza. And it got me thinking why Russians don't tip almost never. Because there is a terrible service in Russia. Taxi drivers are rude, they can argue with you, can smoke when they're driving you. A person from a coat check or a bell-boy won't smile and greet you. As you can see there is no need to tip in Russia, because of a bad service. There is no need to pay money to someone who doesn't want to deal with you.

No service, no money

We all know that in the USA people tip almost everybody where everywhere where there is a service, at a hairdresser, in a taxi, in a restaurant at a coat check in, and even in a hotel a for the bell-boy. But in Russia that is not the case.
Yesterday I decided to order some pizza from the local branch of Papa Johns, and I faced a lot of troubles like not answering the phone call and a long wait. I spent 2 hours in waiting for my pizza, and it got me thinking why Russians don't tip almost never tip.
The reason why is  because there is a terrible service in Russia. Taxi drivers are rude, they can argue with you, can smoke when they're driving you. A person from a coat check or a bell-boy won't smile and greet you. As you can see there is no need to tip in Russia, because of a bad service. There is no need to pay money to someone who doesn't want to deal with you.

No Service, No Money

We all know that in the USA people tip almost everybody where there is a service everyone everywhere, at a the hairdresser's, in a taxi, in a restaurant at coat check, in a hotel a bell-boy <em>('bell-boy' is not a location)</em>. But in Russia that this is not the case.
Yesterday I decided to order some pizza from the local branch of Papa John's, and I faced a lot of troubles: like not answering the phone call and long wait Nobody answered the phone and it was a long wait. I spent 2 two hours in waiting for my pizza. And it got me thinking about why Russians don't tip almost never ever (not <em>never - </em>no double negatives).
Because there is a terrible service in Russia. Taxi drivers are rude, they can argue with you, they can (also) smoke when while they're driving you. A person from a coat check, or a bell-boy, won't <em>(here, 'will not' is better since you're emphasizing that they will 'not')</em> smile and or greet you. As you can see, there is no need to tip in Russia, because of a bad service. There is no need to pay money to someone/There is no need to pay someone who doesn't want to deal with you.

If someone is having a bad day, I understand... but tipping a waiter for horrible service doesn't encourage anything other than, perhaps, worse service in the future.

Think about it from another perspective... Why try to be extra nice when no one will tip you? In America, a large part of a waiter's income comes from tips, and so offering amazing service is in the waiter's best interest. When you know you won't get anything, why try? Therefore... I still believe in giving tips :) it gives encouragement for the future.
