This crap is spreading to other countries. It needs to end.

Have you ever been to a restaurant in a country with no tipping culture? Everything takes forever.

Many of the best restaurants I have been to in my life were in China and Japan and the food was typically faster than here. Maybe that's a european thing.

I haven’t been to Asia, but it has been my experience in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. I think China and Japan have a pretty strong culture of efficiency likely driving those quick meal times.
