I live Downunder and tipping is not expected nor required, but it depends on the customer. If I go out in a large group, we would tip and we can be quite demanding. If it is just 2 or a few, my experience is that we pay what is charged. Cash is not always on the cards now because many people pay by electronic funds as well. And yes, pay your staff a more generous wage and don't expect for customers to have to pay more than advertised. When I went to Amsterdam, my companion told me that tipping was considered borderline offensive. And that the standard thing was to just let them keep the change. So if the bill was 18 dollars and 25 cents, you'd give them a twenty dollar bill and that was that. When in Rome... Exactly! That is what I do just to round it up if cash is used. The thing is, tipping is a big part of US dining culture, it has become the standard norm. |
