Can I travel to America without tipping?

Because tipping is an American custom, when you come to the United States, you need to understand American culture, do as the Romans do, respect local culture, and don't underestimate the small matter of tipping in the United States. There is really a lot of knowledge in this. Tipping is regarded as a social etiquette in the United States, and it is also an aspect that many people measure whether a person knows American culture.

Generally speaking, tips are for people who provide services or help for themselves in any service industry. Even if people in the service industry don't help, you can try to give a little tip to express your gratitude.

The basic salary of service workers in the United States is generally low, and they need to earn tips to make up their income, so tips become their main source of income, and the tips they receive have to be taxed. It can be said that tipping is an important part of the income of service personnel.

In order to get tips, service personnel need to try their best to provide services that satisfy customers, so that the served customers can give rewards willingly, otherwise they may not get tips or the tips given by customers are very low.

From this perspective, the American tipping cultural tradition is actually a very useful tool for American society to encourage or reward service attitude or service quality through individuals. Giving others some rewards or recognition according to their own feelings is also spreading the American culture that "hard work will pay off."

So I suggest that people who come to the United States do as the Romans do, abide by local rules and don't care about that little money. Over time, you will feel that tipping makes you more gentlemanly and grateful. Tipping others will become a natural and voluntary thing, which will make you and the other person very happy.
