Because you have a Chinese face, you have to pay more! May I ask why?
The Chinese-born brother, who took his girlfriend to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, was forced to tip 15%, a special rule for Asian faces, but you don't have to pay if you're white!
According to the Canadian < Sing Tao Daily > report, a Canadian Chinese brother in a Chinese restaurant but by racist discrimination!
It is reported that (Melvin Pan), who was supposed to travel happily with his girlfriend in Quebec, found a 15% tip on the bill when he checked out a meal at a Chinese restaurant called Ancient Canadian. And he was asked to pay the tip!
Unlike Australia, meals in Canada are usually tipped, but they are usually tipped only after the meal is paid. Fast food restaurants like KFC McDonalds don't have to give them, and special buffet restaurants don't; but Japanese and Korean sushi barbecues are usually tipped. Usually 10% of Chinese food, 15% of western food, of course, not on the top, happy just fine.
Melvin, a young man born in Vancouver who has been living in Vancouver, is also confused, tipping more than 5%, and has been written directly on the bill, with a clear price tag to pay.
After all, the fact that he came out with a girlfriend and couldn't tip for a perfect trip spoiled the mood. Melvin decided that a 15% tip might be a special rule in Chinese restaurants and ended up tipping.
But in hindsight, the more Melvin thought it was, the more wrong it was that the direct inclusion of consumption in the bill was unacceptable and higher than usual. So, when he came home, he checked other people's bills at the Chinese restaurant online.
He found: this Chinese restaurant does not charge white customers any tips! And the Asians have to tip!
What is this?
Little brother Melvin doesn't want to hit one place! Believing that he had been subjected to racial discrimination, he immediately called to complain about the Chinese restaurant, and the official explanation given by the Chinese restaurant manager was even more outrageous!
"15% of tips are set specifically for the Asian community. Especially the Chinese! "
This has never happened to me, says Melvin. When I talk to my girlfriend, I hear a real Canadian accent.
Strictly speaking, I am also a Canadian, according to the so-called "tipping rules" in Chinese restaurants, should not pay this tip ah! Do you want to have a meal and light up the id first? Racism is disgusting!
The Chinese restaurant manager also explained: "tourists from China, South Korea and Japan do not have the habit of tipping in their own countries, so they have to pay for it here."
Chinese restaurant owner Serge Duval told reporters that, given the fact that most (Asian-American) consumers don't tip, in order to avoid having to ask customers for tips every time the clerk asks them, it's a good thing to add them directly to the bill.
The clerk who checked out the boy Melvin recalled that he was reminded that the tip was included in the bill, and that Melvin acquiesced in tipping.
Little brother Melvin said he had "learned a lot" from the meal and that restaurants made a difference based on the color of the consumer, and that racist ugliness like this was disgusting!
He added that he had never had a special experience of being treated on racial grounds before, and now, in addition to sympathizing with customers who have been treated differently, there is also a bit of "understanding" of racist victims such as restaurants.
In addition, in Canada last year, an event of racial discrimination has also occurred in Canada, and a game development company intends to issue a game called the
Games include Chinese cooks serving junk as food to customers, killing animals brutally, even cooking as food ingredients, bribing health inspectors and squeezing illegal workers, refunds, insulting customers, and even spitting on customers.
Full of humiliation and disgrace to the Chinese and Chinese restaurants.
The game has been criticised by Canadians and government for being accused of race and openly insulting China, and even the police have stepped in to investigate the company. After that, the developer cancelled the release of the game and publicly apologized to the Chinese.
Tipping in the tipping country is an unspecified duty to price. But the tip was originally intended as a token of gratitude, but why did it put on the racist flag?
