I read yesterday that the gambler that hit the Tropicana in AC for something like $5M left a $150,000 tip. It was divided among the dealers on duty that night. Good for both the player and the dealers but next time when he drops $5M I doubt he will get a refund.
As far as Japan goes, I have been lucky to take a couple of trips there in the past few years for both business and pleasure. Their no tip society is a pleasure. No worrying if you are suppose to tip someone and how much. And my service at the restaurants and bars was as good as or better than places in the US or Europe. Obviously tough to make a decisions based on a couple of quick trips but I would welcome a less tip-focused service industry.
