- 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.
