Only the US has tipping like the US does.
no other country has that extra tax on the food/service price like that.
Also, i'm with Mr. Pink on this. Tipping for me is the employer passing the risk of not having clients to the employee. He should provide a steady salary to their employees and that's it. Then he should include that premium on the advertised price and ensure the service is good. Why should i as a client bet my evening on the willingness of the server to get a tip that time?
- portman 16y agoI've lived in the UK, Italy, Uganda, and Cambodia, in addition to the US. All of them have tipping.
- gcb 16y agoReally? around the same 'price' in the US? places i've lived it was an optional 10% if service was good. usually no tip above $1-2 euro for everyday stuff
- _delirium 16y agoThe American 15-20% is less common, but I think 5-10% is becoming increasingly common in Europe. It partly depends on whether the restaurant explicitly lists a "service charge" on the bill; if they do, no tip is expected, but if they don't, in many countries it's customary to leave 5-10%. At least, that seems to be the case in Italy, Germany, and the UK. Nobody in Denmark really tips, except perhaps by rounding up. Sweden seems to tip around 5%? But Swedes I know seem to disagree on the question.
