American Tipping Culture enters Korea, is it acceptable? | Korean Pizza Club | EP.16

Korea might be pro-America on almost all matters, except maybe 3 things: Drugs, Guns, and TIPPING. American tipping culture has been getting out of control in the United States, where the standard has become 20-25%, according to several news sources and Americans. Ironically, the American tipping culture has been slowly infiltrating the Korean society. And we're not talking about small store owners putting up tip jars or recommending tips to their servers. The biggest tech conglomerate of South Korea, Kakao Corp. has introduced the tipping system to it's taxi services, similar to Uber. This has faced immediate backlash and rage from the Korean public. In today's podcast episode of Korean Pizza Club, we introduce the history of tipping in Korea, Korean viewpoints on tipping, and the panels Kelsey the Korean, Anna Lee, and Soobeanie share their thoughts about tipping culture and whether it will be adopted by the Korean society eventually. What are your thoughts about American tipping culture, and what is the situation related to tipping in your country? __ 🎤 Host: David Kim @justdavid_92 👫 Guests: Anna Lee @jyannalee / Soobin @soobeanie / Kelsey @kelseythekorean  __ 1️⃣ Korean Pizza Club All-in-one link https://linktr.ee/koreanpizzaclub Support the podcast and get early access, unedited full versions, exclusive bonus podcasts on Patreon - https://patreon.com/KoreanPizzaClub
