Great article. I start my tips at 15% and adjust up/down depending on level of service. I’ve left no tip for poor service, and up to 30% for excellent service. I generally tip fairly high due to the fact we are a family of 8.

Thanks Plonkee, that explains a lot about my European experiences.

Tipping is not as customary in Europe or Australia/NZ. Tipping in restaurants is normally done but 10% is a good standard tip – more than that is generous.

Tipping in bars is not really acceptable, in Britain, Ireland, Australia or NZ. It’s considered sort of rude, if you want to show your appreciation of the person working behind the bar, it’s socially acceptable to buy them a drink which they may take then or later.

Standards of acceptable service are different in different countries. Good luck getting anything other than disinterested service in Paris for example.
