How much do you tip in different parts of the world
Some people really do not agree with tipping and when they are traveling they get confused and annoyed with the fact they do not know how much to tip.
Is tipping to much arrogant? is tipping to little rude? Do I have to Tip?
Always check the BILL first to avoid double tipping, most countries add a service charge to the bill already.
We stick to the basic motto even when in the USA, if the service is horrible do not tip. If it is on the bill and you think it was that bad you do not want to pay, talk to the manager.
But if the service is good, fast and friendly you should always tip. Unless in a country where they do not like tips, example: Japan.
You might ask why don’t the business owners just pay more and than I don’t have to tip. If they did that there would probably only be one or two servers like in Australia, where service can be very slow.
