Canadians and Americans
usually tip in places like restaurants, airports, hotels and hair salons
because people who work in these places get low salaries. A tip shows that the costumer is pleased with the service. At airports, porters usually get a dollar for each bag. Hotel bellhops usually get a dollar for carrying one or two suitcases. A hotel door attendant or parking valet also get a dollar for getting a taxi or for parking a car. Many people also tip hotel maids, especially when they stay in a hotel for several days. They usually leave a dollar a day. The usual tip for other kind of service – for example, taxi drivers, barbers, hairdressers, waiters and waitresses – is between fifteen and twenty percent of the check. The size of the tip depends on how pleased the costumers are. In most restaurants, the bill does not include a service charge ; however, if the group is large, there may be a service charge. There is no tip in cafeterias or fast food restaurants. “International Trips” – Enjoy Them” in Tours, February 2000 Note: as you may have noticed the text is from the year 2000 and maybe today something has chanced.
