hahaha, then you should go to a higher class cha chaan tang in either Hong Kong or Shanghai. The food and service are good.
In mainland China, the service industries (like restaurants, taxi and hotels) do not even expect tips, but their services are still top notch.

I mean they "don't expect tips". Well, I never left any tips in China (hotels, restaurants or taxi), so I don't know if they accept if I give them.

I know what you mean. People from North America are used to giving tips at restaurants and taxi etc. So they thought it is the same everywhere else.
Clearly, that is not true. China is an example where tipping is generally not expected.
Some people thought, China wor, so they must be expecting tips like crazy. These people should travel outside of North America more to understand the world more.
