Suggested tipping

1maxboss

Looked on the forum but couldn't find any reference to tipping for service.

What kind of services do you tip for, if any, and how much? Is there an agreed amount to tip for restaurants, coffee shops, taxis, compound services?

I like to tip for good service so any help here would be appreciated?

'Generally' people dont tip for haircutting. But if you want to tip him, no one will stop you :)

Other tippings:

- Waiters who served you.
- Door openers
- Any kind of cleaning guys (janitors, car washers)

Imho, consider 10% in most cases.

Yes, or just round it up.  There used to be 15 percent 'service charge' added in many restaurants (not that the waiters saw any of that money) but service charges are illegal now.

Average is 10%. But ultimately depends on how happy you are with service and how much you wont to give.

Hi,

If you really measure service in most places,
They should be tipping you. :/

I normally tip at Petrol stations as well apart from the regular places.
