ROTFLOL. Japanese hotel restaurants automatically add a 15% (or 20%) service charge to the bill. No minimum of six persons either.

Not in the US. A skycap will pick the lightest bag, leaving me to lug my heavy suitcase, and demand a tip.

FWIW, I tip the maids in US hotels DAILY as a bribe to perform better.
