[Food] Tipping

[portlock seagull]

I know that with first hand experience, the bell boy at a hotel in Hawaii after dropping off my suitcase was not happy when I gave him a handful of Yankee coins when he held his hand out, in fact he left it on the carpet outside the door.
It was still a tip though probably about 3 or 4 dollars.
Ungrateful scrote.

A tips a tip!

There are a lot of dumb people on this thread if they can’t understand it’s different in the USA. People are expected to tip, it’s almost VAT and the economy and way of life are set up that way. Visiting for a a few weeks as a tourist isn’t the time to try and dismantle their way of life in every state. Instead go with the local customs, as you should in every country, and then get back to being tight arsed stiff upper lipped moaning Britons when you get back to, er, Britain!

100%. Equally, don’t tip taxi drivers in Japan. They’ll be offended. Horses for courses.
