When eating in high-end places abroad, waiters are usually tipped. How did this happen?

The word tip comes from18th century London, England. Because at that time, some hotels would put a bowl in the middle of the table, which said that they could get fast and satisfactory service. When the customer puts down some money, the waiter will serve him immediately. At first, it may be to meet the needs of impatient guests.

Later it gradually became popular in European countries. Now it is also a habit in western countries. At first, there was no habit of tipping in America. It is because some Americans have found the habit of tipping abroad and brought this style back to China. Most of these people are rich Americans. They show off their wealth by tipping. At that time, this behavior of showing off wealth was not recognized by Americans, but it has never stopped since it became popular.

Later, during the Great Depression, some hotel catering owners could not pay their employees higher wages. At this time, tipping made up for the shortage of waiters in income and gradually became a part of American culture. At the same time, because Americans worked in the catering industry when they were students, they all agree with the hidden rules of consumption. Therefore, in America, if you don't tip, you may even be considered a bad person. ?

We can see that the habit of tipping has become a culture and custom in foreign countries. If you don't tip, it may affect the quality of service. Of course, many countries are now discussing whether the existence of tipping is reasonable. And if we go abroad, we'd better do as the Romans do and know the hidden rules of tipping in advance.
