i will be travelling to hawaii and canada, what are the rules for tipping as we dont tip in australia?

Answer 1

I am an Aussie who goes to the U.S. quite a bit.....

Tip 10% always and only tip 15% if the service was exceptionally good....

Be careful at restuarants...... sometimes the tip is already included in the bill and if thats the case then dont tip them any further....

Make sure you always tip at restaurants where you have waiter service, at a bar if getting a drink or when in a taxi..... dont tip at your hotel unless someone specifically goes out of there way for you and even in that case $1 or $2 is plenty....

Answer 2

In Canada, the tipping rate for most services, including restaurants is supposed to be 15%; however, in reality, most locals tip 10%-12%, based on the pre-tax amount. Others, who tell you 20%, must work in the hospitality industry. I don't know anyone here who tips that much.

Answer 3

tip 15 to 20 percent at a resturaunt and tip atleast a dollar a drink at a bar. Im a bartender and I can tell you the more you tip the better, faster, and more efficent your service is. Even if its just a beer, a dollar per drink.

Answer 4

As a former waiter at a fine dinning restaurant in Honolulu, 15-20% of total of the bill. If you were a Japanese tourist, I would let them know and add the tip in.
