What is a tip?

A tip is a relatively smaller amount of money added on to the bill as a mark of either satisfaction or generosity for the service given. The size of your tip is often an indicator as to how you felt about the people servicing you directly, as a show of appreciation.

Because the tip refers to the service provided, it is often expected that everyone pays the same tip regardless of differences in orders.

What is the tipping culture in the US

Tipping culture in the US is important, as it often includes the labour costs you are paying. The price of the service is thus not necessarily included in the price indicated on the menu. As a result, in the United States, you tip heavily compared to other countries. If you do not tip, it is a signal that you are entirely dissatisfied with the service and rule that people should not be paid for what they offered. The tip is often factored into the minimum wage a service provider should receive.

Europeans often expect you to round up the bill, and then leave a small amount if you are satisfied with the service. Some countries though, particularly in Eastern Europe, have a similar tipping culture to the United States.
