I will happily pay a server 10 bucks if they do an amazing job.

Tips act as a direct incentive to give good work or service, this is why a tipping economy for some jobs is a good things. But that makes soys upset because no tip fags hate accountability.

thats exactly what I want. except that dealing with problems or getting another drink is literally par for the course service. do you think servers don't do this outside of the US? fact is, servers in other countries are fine. US servers tend to be friendlier, but that doesn't necessarily translate to better service. id much rather my servers dont have to pretend to enjoy working their shitty minimum wage job.

To the point where it has become hilarious. Seriously, they want to change the law so foreigners can't rent properties there because they're blaming them for the raised prices (it's due to greedy landlords) and get rid of all yhe ferries that anchor near their beaches.

This is objectively false. I spent a number of years in Japan and Korea and their service is infinitely better than the US. Shit that would get a korean waitress slapped in the face is standard service in the US. When my gook wife first came here she was astounded at how bad the service was even at nice restaurants. At first she believed they were intentionally insulting her and I had to explain that it was just typical american service. American service is quite possibly the worst in the world.
