There is a custom of tipping abroad.

In many countries, it is common for customers to tip service personnel. Tipping, with a certain courtesy, reflects the customer's concern and respect for the service personnel to a certain extent. According to legend, the trend of "tipping" originated in London in the18th century. At that time, bowls printed with the words "guarantee quick service" were placed on the dining tables of some hotels. When customers put the change into the bowl, they will get timely and thoughtful service from the waiter. Over time, it has formed a trend of "losing everything".

Because there is no uniform regulation on the amount of tips in different countries and industries, customers should do as the Romans do and pay as appropriate. In Japan, when entering the hotel gate, customers can tip the waitress, but not others.

In Thailand, tips paid by customers, no matter how much, are needed.

Hotels and restaurants in Switzerland don't accept tips publicly, but drivers can accept tips of 10% according to explicit regulations.

In France, tipping is open, the service industry can accept tipping at a price not lower than 10%, and the financial tax will also include tipping.

Tipping is a semi-public phenomenon in Italy. When you meet the "sign" of "rejection", you'd better take the opportunity of sending the bill to give a tip.

In North Africa and the Middle East, tipping is a matter of course. Because many old people and children are engaged in service activities, and tipping is their whole income. If customers forget to tip, they will catch up and ask for it.

Tipping is a very common and natural polite behavior in America.

Mexicans regard tipping and receiving tips as an act of expressing gratitude and gratitude.

The trend of tipping is becoming more and more popular in more and more countries. However, tipping is forbidden in some countries, so many official service personnel collect or accept gifts privately, so as not to damage "civilization". The value of such private charges or gifts is often higher than that of public tips.
