I decided attending wakes and funerals are no longer for me.

It is in our nature to spend some time introspectively judging ourselves.   "Am I a good or a bad person"?

 

In this regard, showing respect, consideration by attending a funeral, even of a person we don't think they deserve it,  gives us an opportunity to answer this introspective question with "Yes, I am a good person".  This also applies to other acts of consideration or charity, like tipping a server or giving to a panhandler.  It is a simple way to receive a payoff for an act of goodness.  So...  it can be a smart, good deal!

You might want to speak for yourself but not everyone is as magnanimous as you are.

 

If you have been to Spore, you should know there's a no tipping culture, unlike the US. Already, there's a 10% service charge in restaurants, whether you tip or not.

 

Quite frankly, a lot of service staff are rude, sullen, surly, quarrelsome even. You might want to check out the Google reviews of eateries.

You are right, there is little reason to be too magnanimous in rich Singapore.  It is easier to be so in Bangkok, for example. And I don't consider the attitude to be so much magnanimous but rather SMART.  Like I explained, a boost to self-esteem, to feel good from being a good person, for little money, ha ha.

Then I'm afraid you aren't smart enough understand Singapore. People step on others to feel good AND increase their EGO and SELF ESTEEM. Since you say you have been here many times, surely you have noticed? And if you haven't been here, evidence can be found in BW. The one boy in yellow shirt is the best example.

 

In my working life, superiors are very rude to subordinates but DEMAND respect like it's owed. The Spore way.

 

While I do see your point in forgiving and letting go, different people have different thresholds. Some just simply cannot let go.

It is very possible that I am not smart enough.  I don't pretend to be.   But in my many visits to Singapore I didn't encounter people stepping on others with egos and self esteem,  but mostly bonding with others in hot acts of sex.     This is because I didn't have to work, but instead enjoyed the SG gay saunas.  

 

It may take some self-advancement to take the ugly games at the workplace without being affected by them.  And if necessary, escape these games by escaping Singapore.  Although this is difficult, it may pay off.

A lot of people like to talk smart, act smart. But when you throw the ball at them, they cannot catch it.

 

Because it's easier said then done.

 

In Cantonese, it's called Fong Liong Wa. 

 

We can all talk about emotional intelligence and all. 

 

Quite some truth in that Madonna song Papa Don't Preach.

In what century are you living?

When was the last time you stepped out of your home???

Or you unfortunately can't because you are in that facility around Buangkok?

 

And what are Ang Paos?

 

To me this is clearly within the tipping culture.

 

Also, you never took any Grab, Gojek or used other apps such as FoodPanda, Delivero etc.

strange that all these apps nowadays have a tipping function.

 

Then, tell me what these glass boxes in plenty of restaurants, food outlets are meant for, where it says :

If you liked out service, leave a tip...

 

And telling a service provider (like a Comfort driver) that you don't want the change back, isn't that also tipping???

 

Trolly: Are you actually living in Singapore???

You are an idiot. 🤣

 

Always copy and paste answers from the net. Did it occur to you to filter your responses.

 

Ang POWs are money gifts. You don't give the waiter Ang POWs.

 

Glass boxes in restaurants are for DONATION'S. It does not go to the service.

 

Comfort taxi pay meter fare. You want to leave your backside as a tip, go ahead. 🤣

Are you mad?

 

Borrow other people's response and repeat 3 times. Shameless. Unable to think of your own response?

 

Anyway Guest Guest's response is to you.

You seem very possessive and defensive.  This can be good if someone wants to take something away from you. But... what is @singalion trying to take away from you?  Cannot he have a different opinion about tipping from yours?   And tipping is part of the topic since it is related to acts of charity like attending wakes and funerals.
