Tips & Best Practices
Tipping in the US: 15-20% is standard for good service. Below 15% is often considered poor.
No Tip Countries: In Japan and South Korea, tipping is not expected and can sometimes be seen as rude.
Check for Service Charges: Many tourist areas include "service compris" (Italy/France), so no extra tip is needed.
Round the Total: Rounding up to the nearest whole dollar makes it easier for everyone to pay cash.
Tip Before Tax: Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax bill, though many now use the total.
