I am from a country where we do not pay tips, and I am little confused. I heard tip should be around 15%, but it is rude if we pay by coins. But if I had $4.6 coffee and cakes, $5 is obviously not enough, and $6 is too much. How much do you guys pay in this case?

I'm a server and I don't mind getting coins at all. I keep everything and put it in a container and then take it to the bank. You should give 15-18 or more if it was really good service. So altogether your bill should be at least 5.29.

Your tip should be at least 15% of $4.60. If the service was superb you can tip 20% of $4.60 or give any amount that you feel compelled to give. There is nothing rude about paying with coins. I have worked as a waitress and trust me I could spend coins just like dollars. 15% of $4.60 is $.69 and 20% of $4.60 is $.92. If you do not want to leave coins then leave a dollar bill. That is more than 20% tip.!

In the United States 15% to 18% is a standard tip. The change from $5.00 would be a sufficient tip. Servers gladly accept coins as part of their tip. If you had exceptional and very friendly service a $1.00 tip would have been greatly appreciated by the server!

It is not rude to pay by coins unless you use only pennies.
If you paid $4.60 for the coffee and cakes, then with tip you should pay $5.20 or $5.25.

The normal is 15% tip. So if the total is 4.60 the tip should be 69 cents. Making the total $5.29

depending on the service you received. If good tip the $6, if bad service leave the $5.

50 cents is a reasonable tip for restaurant bills of $5.00 or less, however, one should only tip providing the service and food met their satisfaction, and 10% is the average percentage for tipping, anything higher than that is up to the individual being served.

I don't think it is rude to leave change. I usually leave a 20% tip and if it would come out to be a rediculous amount of change I usually round up. so in your case I would leave $5.75. But that's just me, I'm sure there are plentty different opinions.

A tip is a tip is a tip, no matter if it's in bills or coins.
