This should be renamed, "The Traveller's Guide to Overtip". > France > Restaurants: French law requires that service be included in the price, but most locals round up their bills with small change (or up to 10% of the bill). Locals tip when the service is exceptional... Tipping is rarely more than 5% and in a lot of cases people do not tip. It's also a bit of a class thing, students almost never tip, tipping is more reserved for high class expensive restaurants... > Taxis: Plan to tip cab drivers about 10 percent. Neither me nor any of my friends tip cab drivers... > United Kingdom > Taxis: Tip 10-15 percent for black cabs and licensed minicabs, or just round up to the nearest Euro. Tip extra for help with loading or unloading baggage. Oh the miracles of copy and paste... I think tipping to the nearest Euro would be a little inconvenient when paying in pounds.
