>>16822376it increases your style in Lumiose city if you tip in Lumiose City. It counts towards that lameass counter that eventually gets you the hatching O-Power
Tipping outside Lumiose city...doesn't do anything quantifiable.
>>16819193They really do get offended. Ironically enough, Japanese service is, on the whole, tip-worthy.
The only time I've heard of a Japanese worker accepting a tip at all was a cab driver whose fingers got smashed by the trunk. Of course at that point it was less "tip" and more "compensation" cuz the guy would probably be sore for a good while soooo...yeah.
As far as tipping in the states? I know that employers shaft their employees if tips are a thing, so if you do your job well, you get a tip. You do a bad job, you don't.
