Which countries do I need to tip?

We know that when we travel, we often tip some service personnel, which is a kind of etiquette, but it is not very common in China, so we don't care much, but it is a necessary etiquette in some countries, and we also have to tip. See which countries need to tip!

Asian country China

As we all know, hotels in China have no habit of tipping.

But it doesn't mean that China doesn't have this tradition. Since ancient times, there has been a custom of rewarding people like tipping, which is called rewarding money. The reward object is not only the second waiter in the hotel, but also buddhist nun, the valet and the page boy.

Korea, Japan

There is generally no need to tip in hotels, and some waiters even think it is very impolite to tip.

Thailand

The hotel must pay a tip of 20~30 baht. Thailand generally has low consumption, so tipping is not painful. I advise you not to save this money, but to give it generously! But remember never to give coins, because in Thailand, coins are for beggars ~ others will think you don't respect him.

Singapore

As a Southeast Asian country, hotels in Singapore don't need to tip. Tipping will make people feel that the service is poor.

India

If you don't tip, you may be forced to ask. In the hotel, if you need to carry every piece of luggage, please give 50 rupees and tip the room attendant 200 rupees every day. Just put it by the bed.

In India, you may be forced to tip. For example, in the bathroom, someone will politely hand you a tissue. If you let nature take its course, the paper towel delivery person will reach out and ask you for a tip. Just give him 10~20 rupees. If you really don't want to give it, please don't pick anything up.

Türkiye

In this country, if you hear someone tell you Bakschisch, it means to tip you. In a hotel, it will be considered impolite if you don't tip. You should pay a little.

Generally speaking, in European countries, tipping is not mandatory, because service charges are often included in your expenses, such as meals. But if it is really given to the waiter, people will be very happy.

Britain, England

Although the tipping culture was developed in Britain, the tipping consciousness in Britain is not so strong now. If you stay in an ordinary hotel, you don't have to give it. If you stay in a high-end hotel, the porter will pay 1~2 pounds per piece of luggage, and the cleaner will pay 1~2 pounds per day.

France

You don't have to tip in the hotel, but guests can also leave some tips on the bedside table. It's best to give it in person, otherwise it will be returned as lost property.

Germany

Don't give it. But if you ask the staff to provide extra services, such as taking luggage and delivering food, you need to give a little. German paper money is printed at 5 euros, and two or three yuan of steel is used to send beggars away. I'm a little embarrassed. If you want to return it, you have to give it five yuan.

Greece

Guests staying in the hotel should personally tip the hotel staff when they leave, and give the staff who carry boxes about 1 euro.

Africa In Africa, tipping is the lubricant of interpersonal relationships. If you don't pay a daily tip of $65438 +0~2 in the hotel, your room won't be cleaned.

North America, USA, Canada

Tipping is an unwritten rule and must be given!

In various occasions in the United States and Canada, tips are a dime a dozen. If you don't do it when you should, it's almost impossible to move. Eating in restaurants, traveling and staying in hotels must not be forgotten. In addition, people who carry boxes get 1 Canadian dollars per piece of luggage, which is 1~2 dollars in the United States. Give the cleaner 1~2 yuan every night.

If you stay in a hotel with no more than three stars, it is usually 1 USD on the table before going out every day, and it costs several dollars or more for those with more than three stars.

How to tip the parking attendant?

Generally speaking, we should tip every time the parking attendant stops for us. The tipping standard for parking attendants is usually $2 to $5.

porter (at a railway station)

The porter's work is very heavy, so tipping shows your appreciation for his hard work. It is appropriate to tip $5 or more, depending on your financial strength.

Hotel reception

Tips are very small, of course, it is not impossible. If you think the customer service is sincere in providing quality service, tipping is also good.

room service

A tip of $5 per day is appropriate, because the cleaning staff may be different every day during your stay in the hotel. Leave $5 a day, make sure everyone is considered, and don't embarrass employees by sharing tips evenly during shifts.

Hotel restaurant staff

Like tipping in a restaurant, it is about 5%~ 10% of the meal fee.

Swimming pool staff

It is polite to tip the person who pays for you. So when someone hands you an ice towel in a hot swimming pool, you should give a little tip to show your gratitude. As for tipping lifeguards, I have never heard of it.

Hotel doorman

Some guests choose to tip when they arrive at the hotel, while others leave. If necessary, you can ask them to reserve a popular restaurant for you, which is worthwhile. 5~20 yuan is appropriate.

In some cases, you should also consider tipping other hotel employees. For example, security guards who have been trying to track down lost things. Although you don't have to tip everyone.

Tipping needs to be done properly, otherwise it will be self-defeating. Give it to your face if you can, and then give the waiter a smile and say thank you.

The general cleaning staff will not take away the money left in the room without authorization. A passenger went to Bangkok and left hundreds of baht on the hotel table (some of them were whole, but he forgot to bring them). The room was cleaned and the money was not taken. Good thing you didn't tip me.

All right, Bian Xiao put these together. If you want to travel to countries that need tipping, don't be stingy with your money!
