In China, tipping a waiter is taken for granted, and there is no need to tip. However, in the United States, tipping is an underlying rule, whether it's in a restaurant, a hotel, or any other aspect of your life, as long as someone serves you, you need to tip. However, the first time I needed to tip, I was dumbfounded by how much it would be reasonable to tip. I felt that I was losing money if I tipped too much, but if I tipped too little I was afraid that it would be a bad influence. In the end, I tipped a little bit randomly, and I was able to get through the difficult situation. Later, because of more life experience, gradually accumulated some for the United States "tip" experience, here I summarize, I hope to be able to give the United States, or is studying in the United States to bring some help.

Although tipping is optional, there are some unspoken rules that you need to know to avoid misunderstandings and quarrels. Generally speaking, tipping is expected whenever you receive a service, especially in places like restaurants, where tipping is basically required.

Basically, the probability of tipping in restaurants is high, but not all restaurants require tipping. Generally, a 10% tip is required for lunch, a 15% tip for dinner, and with an 8% tax, you can roughly figure out how much you'll have to pay.

Tipping is an indirect evaluation of the quality of service, and for servers, with low salaries, tips are like their commission, so many servers will serve very hard, trying to win the hearts of guests, and end up receiving high tips. We are students and basically don't have much money, so you can just ignore their "hard service" for a while and give a reasonable tip, no one will mind if you pay less. In addition, if you are not satisfied with the service of the restaurant, you can also refuse to pay the tip.

In addition, I'd like to say a few words about tipping. When you eat in an American restaurant, there will only be one waiter to serve you, and the other waiters will only specialize in serving their own customers, so you only need to tip the waiter who serves you. Don't make the mistake of recognizing the wrong person, it can be a joke.

At the airport, if someone helps you with your luggage, it's a good idea to tip them in return. A tip of 1-2 dollars is usually enough, but you can pay more if the service is good.

When you take a taxi, if the driver is enthusiastic and provides good service, you can pay the taxi driver as a tip without making any change.

When you stay in a hotel, you should tip the person who helps you with your luggage and the cleaner, which is basically about 2 dollars. When you go out in the morning, you also need to put a $1 tip on your pillow to thank people for their service. If you are staying in a very fancy hotel, then you need to give more. Sometimes the amount of tips given, but also reflect a person's social status, but like us students, you can give according to the actual situation, do not pretend to money oh, parents will be sad.

The most exaggerated is that the hairdresser also need to tip. From the door, to help take clothes to take the bag to the person to give 1 dollar tip, wash the hair of the person to give 1 dollar tip, and finally cut the hair, but also to give the barber 15% of the tip, helpless, right? But this is the unspoken rule.

In fact, not all countries have the habit of "tipping", but the Yankees have this habit. Since we came to the United States to study, we have to learn to respect and learn the habits of this side. So, more observation of the United States, more understanding of the habits of the United States, slowly, you will also be like me love this place.

I don't know if this article has helped you? I know what I said are some relatively shallow, because the deeper things need to be slowly excavated and accumulated in life, at present, I am also actively exploring.
