I have not ever got a tip more than 5 bucks from the people from UK or European countries.. is that just their culture? oh and the reason why I got my $5.00 is because, i booked a Flight to hawaii for them 5 people and a hotel accomodations for 5 days, made dinner reservations for them for hawaii for 4 nights and on top of that, make dinner reservations for their stay in las vegas nevada and also shows and also deliver flowers. Yes it is part of my job to please them, but, if you ask way too much of a favor you better tip us. we people in this kind of business work for tips.

Well in the U.K and europe the tip is Always included in the bill its common standards there to tip waiters and such are highly respected and so the tips are included in the bill weather the customer likes it or not lol





so they might not realize that their even making a mistake by not tipping you and figuring that the tip is included in the bill





it would be hard to explain to them with out being rude that the tip is not included in the bill but its how you make your living so i would at least try and if they get offended for w/e reason o well right live and learn lol
Reply:In Europe the tip is added to the bill, so it's not like Europeans automatically know how to do it, since they just pay that extra fee anyway.
Reply:hell yeah we tip but its weird we dont always tip the same people you do





we dont tend to tip porters or valets but its common to tip barmen and expected to tip waitresses
Reply:just take your clothes off then there forsure to tip
Reply:I'm not European, but I would like to speak on behalf of a country that does not tip.


I'm from Australia and tipping is very rarely done here. If you bought dinner, coming to $135, you might just give the cashier/waiter $150 and leave the change, but even that's not common, or expected.


Over here, because tipping isn't expected, the waiters/servers etc are paid more, rather then having to rely on tips (which, I personally, think makes more sense).


You may have to be tolerant of people of other cultures who don't tip, because it is a completely foreign concept to them. HOWEVER, I think these people are jerks for not researching YOUR culture before visiting you and tipping appropriately. They are, after all, guests in your country.
Reply:This question is asked all the time, Europeans don't tip because ALL the service staff in Europe are paid good wages you should all go on strike until the management pays you sufficient money so you don't require tips. It is all your own fault, $10 for making a dinner reservation, you must be kidding, if you were to put your hand out for money for that then you surely have a brass neck, if you expected that on the continent you would wait for ever.
Reply:I'm not sure, but you should understand that not only are they on vacation, they are on vacation from another country. So they are tryin to save as much money as they can for their vacation. Which means tipping to the minimum is what they will do.
