To those who live in or who have visited the United States.

Growing up in the 90’s, the “minimum acceptable” tip was 10%, average was 15%, and a good tip was 20%. These days, I just round to the nearest dollar and tip 20%, but I’ve heard these days it’s not unusual to tip up to 40%!

What do you usually do?

    i live in vietnam. it’s a poor country. but restaurant workers here get paid in money, so they don’t need to work for gratuity. it would be strange or insulting if you tried to give extra money to the staff.

          tipping being insulting. Sure, it depends on the amount, but I don’t believe tipping could be seen as something bad, especially if you’re a tourist

          might be wrong though
