goddamn, I'm supposed to tip my hotel housekeeper?

If you're like me, when you're in a foreign country you just leave all the loose change you won't want to drag in to cash in and add $5 on top

when I went to summer camp in china in 9th grade, we left a tip for the housekeeper on our last day. right before we got on the bus, one of the hotel staff came running out and told us that we had forgotten some money on the dresser.
― dayo, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link
god what an annoying infographic, great idea but how hard can it be to make all the countries where tipping is 15-20% one color, 10-15% another color, no tipping another color???

it's wrong about the uk (service charges are rarely included) and germany (lol "dollars are accepted but euros are appreciated")
― caek, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
It also says that if a service charge isn't included, a tip can be excepted.
― Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:21 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe the author has only been to tourist areas where dollars are always accepted

i'm sure the author was very popular on their trips to france

service charges are rarely included
really? feels increasingly common
― blueski, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:27 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe (not in my experience). it's definitely still the exception though.
― caek, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link
so what's the tipping policy across the pond
― dayo, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:29 (thirteen years ago) link
10-15% in restaurants unless a service charge is included, round up in taxis, and no tips anywhere else (unless i'm forgetting something)
― caek, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
that infographic looks/sounds like it was ripped off of some 15-year-old source, hence all the stuff about "dollars are appreciated"
― ☂ (max), Wednesday, 22 June 2011 19:45 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe they mean aesthetically

dollars haven't appreciated, they've depreciated thanks to the fed's gutless fiscal policies!!!!!

There was a Planet Money piece about tipping on All Things Considered today. Cliffs: quality of service has little impact on amt of tips.
― Mr. Patrick Batman (WmC), Wednesday, 22 June 2011 23:27 (thirteen years ago) link
there's truth to that. Consider the scenario that the kitchen takes too long to get the food out, customer complains, bill is voided by the manager. In that scenario, no matter how good I was to the table, it seemed just a matter of personal principle whether they tipped me or not (usually they left a tip, especially cuz they just got a free meal, but not always).

hey is it a thing to comp someone for some non-existent slight with the tacit understanding that you will get tipped extra as a way to shift money from the house to the staff?
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 23 June 2011 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link
oh yea, that's why they never let any of the waiters in my restaurant have access to 'comp' thigns on the computer.
― SBing crosby (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 June 2011 00:37 (thirteen years ago) link
they actually instituted a policy that you had to turn in your Buy One Get One free postcards intact at the end of the night because waiters in other locations of the franchise were ripping them in two and duping stupid managers into comping the meal of the table who brought in the postcard, and another random table that didn't, and pocketing the difference.
