Tipping in Restaurants


Aside from ordering wine in restaurants, tipping creates the most tension for diners. In America, eateries consider a tip discretionary, while in Europe, it’s automatically added to the bill. Although wait staff depend on them, a tip is a privilege, NOT a right. So if you’re demanding of your waiter, requesting substitutions or special dishes, asking about ingredients or have children with you, they work harder and should be tipped accordingly. Of course, great service should be awarded. However, if your waiter is rude, brings you the wrong order, spills something on you or is never to be found when needed, you might reconsider. As for how much to tip, do so according to your means. Cheers.
