[quote=FFEJ ,3703]Tipping is a dilemma in China. The kind of people who would get tipped are low paid, but the quality of service is generally low.I have never felt the desire to tip a taxi driver anywhere in the world, least of all in China. Why pay extra for poor driving and a fairly disgusting vehicle?However, taxi drivers are particularly disadvantaged in Beijing and most taxi-drivers struggle to make ends meet. (A lot of recent press on this).I don't tip in China because I detest what tipping has become in many countries in the world, especially in the US. Why should a person's decent lving wage depend upon the generosity of a customer?If I do receive good service in China, I make a point of taking a business card from a taxi-driver and I use him again (happened only about ten times so far, but these drivers get a lot of my rides!). In restaurants I make a point of telling the manager that I have received good service from certain individuals. Just a personal decision all this.[/quote]
