In Austria (Europe) this is common too.

  But not in Germany, though. In norway, tipping is something you only do at restaurants (not in taxis or other places).

    Interesting. I had a taxi driver in Hamburg bitch at me for the whole ride that Americans don't tip and why don't they tip? So, that was the one taxi ride in Germany I took and didn't tip. (It was not the first taxi ride in Germany.)

      Maybe there's an east-west divide? My experience is with Berlin.

        Looking at a few sites this morning, it sounds like it's typical to round up to the next Euro in Germany, and that tipping more than 10% might be seen as offensive (unless of course you are hoping to get some extra from an American).
