I get that is how the US wants you to think.

Where I lived in Japan, most meals would still come out cheaper and most places had just as many servers or more. Tokyo was slightly higher but so is rent. Soft drinks are expensive in Japan, especially coke-a-cola for the restaurants.

Japan is very comparable in food and rent. Minimum wage was around $8,50 and up for a server. Considering there pay is hourly, I'd get at least 3-5x better service than here where I tip 15-20%.

The only thing the US does excel at is complaints and refills. Fuck you can even get French fries herd as a refill!!
