Tipping

In any countries there is a fixed charge forpersonal services. A certain percentage may be added to the hill at a hotel orrestaurant "for the service". In other places the customer may beexpected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciationwhenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistentpractice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city thanin a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and howmuch to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, atip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers(except, perhaps, in small town), and by those who serve you in hotels andrestaurants.

When you pick up your incoming luggage at anairport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. Heusually expects 35cents a bag for his service. In come cities the taxi thattake you to your hotel may have one meter that shows the cost of the trip andanother that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for "extra".In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the"extra", especially if he carries your suitcase. If no"extra" is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do notmake a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It iscustomary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcasesand shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carriesis satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of thebill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has serves you.A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, moreexpensive places. If the order is small - a cup of coffee at a lunch counter,or something of the sort - a tip is not usually expected.
