I typically don't do a lot of business in Tokyo but have increasingly done so of late. I've noticed in a few cabs only in Tokyo a money tray placed on the center seat console with a few coins in it.
I personally have no issue rounding up and then some up as that has to be a tough way to scratch out a living - ok not as tough as the women that work in those caged sized booths on the street selling tickets but I digress....
Is this a somewhat new thing? Is encouraging the tipping culture like this in Japan more harmful than just helping an individual make a living.... thoughts?
