The Amazingly Odd Things Americans Do
We Value Tipping and Honor It
While hotels around the world expect tipping from customers as a norm, it is not necessarily a standard as much as it is in the U.S. We often hold to a standard of 15 percent for good service and more for large groups. But this is not common internationally. In fact, some places do not allow tipping at all, building it already in the price of service.
