❓ Why do tipping customs vary so much?
It comes down to local wage structures and service culture. US servers earn below minimum wage and depend on tips. Japan practices "omotenashi" (hospitality) where excellent service is expected without extra pay. Nordic countries have high wages and strong social safety nets, making tips unnecessary.
❓ Will I be chased down for not tipping?
In the US and Canada, possibly — servers may follow you to ask if something was wrong. In Asia and Northern Europe, not at all. The best approach is researching customs before you travel.
