Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette generally suggests tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, as tax is a government fee, not a service provided by the restaurant.
Is tipping mandatory?
In the US and Canada, while legally voluntary, it is socially expected. In many European and Asian countries, it is not expected or is included as a service charge.
What if the service was bad?
It's better to speak to a manager about the issue. Leaving a very small tip (like pennies) is a strong signal of dissatisfaction, but leaving no tip might just look like you forgot.
