So tips aren't usual in Korea. In fact in a lot of places they are outright refused. My doctor's office (acupuncture) got pretty mad when after the first couple of visits I left a couple of extra bucks. Ok maybe not so much mad, but I got a stern talking to that they can actually get in legitimate trouble for having too much money. Once I was talking with my boss about it, he was saying that people sometimes will bring foods and similar items that they made at home for "tips" every once and a while. I decided that yesterday I was going to "tip" my acupuncture group with a batch of orange cranberry muffins. You would've thought I had given them gold bars. They went nuts and kept coming over to my area and asking if "handmade" and if I made them and etc. It certainly injected a pleasant smell into my apartment, and I finally got to use a bunch of my odd shaped silicone cupcake molds. I decided that for the acupuncture place the squares and hearts were of appropriate size and I had enough batter left over to make a batch of tiny stars for the others at work.
