Tipping? Don't Even Think About It!!!

OK...so, no tipping in Korea, right? That's pretty much the rule as it applies to restaurants, cabs, delivery, and pretty much anything else that you would expect to have to tip for in the west.

Well now, this is just getting carried away! Take a look at this picture. Yes, it's what you think it is...pizza...yummy pizza. How did it get to my house? Why, it was delivered by a nice young man on a moped of course!

Now, look very closely at the bottom right, can you see something shiny? Yes, you're right...it's a baek won...what is that you say?

Well...the pizza, as per the flyer that was left on our door, cost 9,900 won (around $10) So, when the pizza arrives, since there are no taxes...and no tips...they have what is the equivalent of a dime Scotch taped to the top of the pizza box (knowing that I would be paying with a 10,000 won bill, the highest denomination)

So, in summary, I got a $10 pizza delivered to my door by a guy on a moped in the rain, who wouldn't even think of taking a 10 cent tip.

When do you get here?
