Tipping culture is stupid. No one should pay tips and no one should expect tips.

You've never traveled out of the States. In JA they want a tip for saying hello.. But no matter which country you're visiting, every hotel guest tips the bellhop and the cleaning person. It's a kind of Pay It Forward, sometimes. The more you choke hold onto your money the less of it will come your way.

There are actually many countries where tipping is considered rude and offensive. You can't generalize every country by implying that only the US would be okay without tipping.

I wasn't "generalizing everything," but I've been all over the world, and it's rare that a tip is considered a rude gesture. In some countries, they dread seeing American guests bc we're considered loud, demanding, complainers, and terrible tippers.
