There is no such thing as tipping in daily life in the country. But for immigrants, the way of tipping is different depending on the country of immigration. The term Tips originated in 17th-century England, and the way tips were initially tipped was indeed a bit like "begging". At that time, there were not so many cooking utensils now, and the guests were still divided into three, six, nine, etc., and the restaurant would be slower to serve. In order to enjoy the prompt service, the rich will put money in a bowl with the words "To Insure Prompt Service" written on it, and pay an additional fee to buy the fast service. This phenomenon was brought to the United States by colonizers, and after hundreds of years of precipitation, it evolved into a culture that spread around the world.
At present, there are relatively few countries in the world that do not have a "tip culture". The tipping culture of European countries is much the same, such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark in Northern Europe, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Hungary in Central Europe, and the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and other countries in Western Europe. And if you don't include a tip on your bill, you'll need to tip 10%-15%; If it is already included, then there is no need to give.
First, Greece
The rules in restaurants are around 10%, in Taverna it is not more than 10 euros. Guests staying in the hotel are required to personally tip a certain amount of tips to the hotel staff when they leave.
Spain and Portugal
Restaurants and restaurants are also 5% to 10% tipping. Usually after finding money, the guest leaves the tip on the table. By taxi, the fare is usually reduced to 50 cents or euros in euros. In addition, special care should be taken not to leave the change of 2 cents and 5 cents on the table as a tip, which is considered by the locals to be the most impolite tip payment.
Third, the United Kingdom
The English word for tip is "tips", which originated in London, England, in the 18th century. At that time, the table of the British hotel would be placed in the middle of the bowl with the words "To Insure PromptService". Customers who put change in a bowl will receive prompt and attentive service from the hospitality staff, whose initials of the above English words are "TIPS". Although the tipping culture originated in the United Kingdom, the awareness of tipping in the United Kingdom is not so strong now.
Ireland
In Ireland no more than 10%. If the "service charge" has been issued on the bill, the guest can give it less appropriately. If you sit at the bar in the bar, you don't need to tip. Staying in a hotel, give the employees who pick up boxes about 1 euro. It is best to pay a round fare in a taxi as a sign of respect.
5. Germany
Tipping in Germany is a must, but it is not a must. In fact, there is an unwritten rule of eating in Germany, which is to tip 5%-10% of the meal price. Tips should also be given when staying in a hotel. How much tip to give depends on what standard hotel and room you live in, and of course, on whether the guest has money on hand. Tipping can be left in the room, such as on a nightstand or in an ashtray. Tips for the baggage handler and the room cleaner should be paid to the person. If you want to make sure that all serviced hotel personnel receive a tip, you should give the money to the front desk when you leave the hotel. When travelling in a group, whether in Germany or in other European countries, the tour guide will generally introduce travelers to the habit of tipping. Tips to bus drivers are generally collected and given together.
6. France
In France, tipping is public. The service industry can charge a tip of not less than 10% of the price, and the fiscal tax will also take the tip into account.
