Ziggy, in our country, we do not pay wait staff that much, so tipping becomes important. This is true for other service jobs.
In the EU, many jobs that are low paying here are not there, and have more benefits. For instance, cab drivers here tend to be independent, but in EU countries tend to be covered by health insurance. All of these drive different customs and different tipping practices.
When I was taking Frendh in high school, they told us that it was customary to tip ushers in the movie theater! I wonder if that is still true. |
