Can you explain the cultural and personal importance of tipping servers etc, in American cultural behaviour?
It seems much more ‘the done thing’ in most cases in the US, whereas in the UK it is more commonly used as an indicator of exceptionally good service.
So, when do you tip?
When don’t you tip?
Is tipping behaviour similar across the States?
What are the consequences of not tipping? How badly-looked-upon is it?
What is your understanding of other countries’ tipping practices?
