I come from Europe where service is already included in the price you pay, where servers get a full pay for their job and where a tip is given only for a service that was exceptionnaly good. So, I have very few insights on how much I should tip and in what circumstances. I know the rule for the drinks in the bars: 1 drink = 1 $ tip. I know the rule in the restaurants: tip = 2 x the tax. But I'm not sure if this applies to every kind of restaurant. For instance, do you tip in the diners? And if no, how can I indentify a restaurant in which tip is required before the waiter yells at me out of rage...
