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.
I gave tips in high class hotels in China and they accepted it. But I don't think they expect tips from everyone or everytime.
However, I never gave tips when I just dined in a regular restuarants. They must thought I forgot the money if I left the tips on the table. I guess they would call me back if I had not walked out of the restuarant.

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 didn't give tips because some other people told me tips are not expected in China's service industries.
The service industry there believes that good service should be a standard and should not expect extra tips.
In mainland China, the service industries (like restaurants, taxi and hotels) do not even expect tips, but their services are still top notch.

Oh, you mean they "didn't ask for" or "don't accept" ah? So they won't take your tips even you put it on the table? I know in japan, they didn't ask for tips and they won't accept tips even you want to put it in their hands wor.
