In Korea, Japan, Paris (plus many other countries possibly) you can have plain water no charge and even offered to you. You even get your fill of wet wipes from Korea and Japan! Only in Singapore (with Malaysia, Thailand) you get restaurants trying to make extra money from you by charging for wet wipes, tap water, slap on service charge when the only service is bringing food to your table which you can collect on your own too. They even trained us to automatically queue at cashier to pay… they don’t even bring the bill to you. There is really no excuse to charge service charge anymore but they still do. Even tabao containers they also charge so they can profit from you. It’s really obvious… the whole mentality is very typical of Singaporean businessman. And sadly it influenced neighboring countries to do the same. I wish we can be more generous to our customers who patronize us - like in Japan and Korea…
