Are you from a culture in which it's standard practice to tip for services?


Yes, it is a standard practice to tip in America.

If so, for which services, and what's the standard where you live? What do you consider fair? Are there circumstances in which you wouldn't tip when you ordinarily would?


I pretty much only tip for meals. 10%-20% is the range in my area...depending on how cheap/generous you are. I usually tip at least 20%. If the service is bad, I'll tip less. If it's terrible, I won't leave anything. But I've only done that a couple times.

Is it an expected thing for every visit or only at certain times of the year? When it comes to food and drink, is there a difference to you between restaurant and counter service?


For meals, it is expected for every visit. I only tip for "sit-down" meals. I wouldn't tip at a McDonalds or such.

Have you worked a job where tips are expected? Encouraged? Hoped for? Do you think this makes a difference in your perceptions to those of people who haven't? Do you remember how well (or whether) people tip and does this make a difference in how you treat them if they come back?


I've never worked such a job, but my mom did when I was very young.

If not, have you traveled in places where it's customary? What are your thoughts on it?

Remember I loved only you...Remember me and smile...

Than to remember me
