How much money do you leave the waiter or waitress in a restaurant? What about taxi drivers, hotel staff and hairdressers? Tipping is complex, but even more so when you’re abroad.
The problem is that every country seems to have its own unofficial " rules". In Australia, for example, tipping isn’t common at all. And they aren’t really expected in restaurants, or anywhere else as a matter of fact. It’s the same in Iceland and China. And in Japan, it can actually be considered rude to tip in a restaurant. In fact, if you leave money a waiter might even chase you to give it back. In most of Europe, tipping a waiter is fairly common.
However, amounts vary from country to country. In England, for example, most people tip a-round 10% of the bill. But in Spain people generally only leave small change. However, if there’s one country where you really should tip, it’s the United States. In stark contrast to Japan, a waiter will probably chase you down the street if you don’t leave a tip! Not only that, but Americans usually tip up to a hefty 20% in restaurants. So if you’re saving up for a big dinner in the US, make sure you take that into account. Americans also tip for drinks. In fact, there are some bars in New York where staff earn such big money from tips that they receive no wages. Some people even pay to work there!
But it isn’t only in bars and restaurants where you’re supposed to tip. Here’s some advice from a travel website on how you should tip in an American hotel: $ 3 for the parking attendant. $ 2 for the doorperson if they hail a taxi for you and $ 1 for each bag they help you with. The bellhop gets $ 2 per bag, and you should leave the maids $ 3 to $ 5 a day. So, for two people for one weekend that’s about $ 20 before you’ve even paid for the room.
But why is there so much tipping? Well, in many cases, workers are paid below the minimum wage as they’re expected to make up the difference with tips. As a result, a server could earn a decent wage on a good night, or hardly break even on a slow night. Service sector workers are even expected to pay income tax on the tips as they’re considered part of their normal wages for the job they do not just "extra" money.
So, as you can see, tipping in the US is serious business. There’s even a website for celebrity tippers. Stained Apron(www. stainedapron. com)has information on who’s who in the world of tipping. Under the column heading "Scum" , you can find a list of the bad tippers. Those on the list include Al Gore, Dan Quayle and Bridget Fonda. And under "Saints" there’s a list of the generous tippers, which includes Johnny Depp, Ray Charles, Angelina Jolie and Bill Clinton.
But could anyone possibly match the late Kerry Packer(the Australian billionaire)? He was always a generous tipper, but on one occasion he casually asked the waitress serving him how big her mortgage was. The tip he left her paid it off to the last penny. Now that really is " saintly tipping"!
Of course, make sure you’re a billionaire before trying that one! [br] What type of information does the website Stained Apron provide according to the passage?
