I was reading some old posts about tipping; I thought I'd start a new one as some of them were very old. One thing I am interested to hear is what people from the UK and other "non-tipping countries" do, do you tip as customary to the USA or how you would tip at home?
It seems that we have it lucky to have a fair minimum wage system here in the UK, staff do not have to rely on their tips.
The thread about tipping housekeeping..... I would have never in a million years have left a tip to housekeeping until I read that thread....
To me, it does seem like the Americans tip for everything, I know the minimum wage is poor, but people seem to want tips for nothing in some cases.
