Understanding Tipping
A tip (or gratuity) is a sum of money customarily given by a customer to certain service sector workers for the service they have performed, in addition to the basic price of the service.
While tipping practices vary wildly across the world (and even within countries), it generally serves as a way to reward good service and, in some economies like the US, constitutes a significant portion of a service worker's income.
Tipping in the US
- Restaurants: 15-20% (Standard)
- Bartenders: $1-2 per drink
- Food Delivery: 10-15% ($2-5 min)
- Taxi/Rideshare: 15-20%
International Tipping
- Europe: Often included ("Service Compris"), or round up bill.
- Japan/Korea: No tipping (can be rude).
- Canada: Similar to US (15-20%).
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on tax?
Etiquette experts generally suggest calculating the tip based on the pre-tax amount of the bill. However, many people simply tip on the final total for ease of calculation.
What if the service was bad?
It's up to your discretion. Some choose to leave a smaller tip (10%) to indicate dissatisfaction, while others speak to a manager instead. In the US, leaving no tip at all is a strong statement.
