Even tough I was born and raised in Switzerland I always give a 10% tip in a restaurant when I was happy with the service.
To give no tip is in my experience considered quite rude. I only ever do it when I was unhappy with the service.
- snovv_crash 10y agoThis has been my experience in the Suisse Romande. Maybe you are from the Schweizerdeutsch side?
- jonaswi 10y agoExactly. I do live in Zurich. I'm in Geneva quite often and even there when having lunch with my romand co-workers they usually tip around 10%. It still is quite surprising how even those "habits" are different in all the different regions here.
- somedudeonHN 10y agoI live in Switzerland too, born and raised here, and everyone tips only when the service is better than usual, or we round up and give a franc or two for the service
- jonaswi 10y agoThats interesting. I guess there is no general pattern here. My personal experience when I was jobbing as a waiter during my university time was different. Larger tips (more than a round up) were rather the rule than the exception. Due to the fact that all tips are usually shared with everyone working in the restaurant I usually even tip if I was not that happy with the service because I liked the food or also the other way around.
