Re: Photo Guide for Brits in Texas re: how to tip
That's more about how not to tip. Positive information would be a more useful guide.
In the UK tipping is less common as a cultural norm, we tip waiters and waitresses, people who carry your bags to your hotel room (if you can't manage it yourself) and taxi drivers. If American tourists tip everybody, they're as likely to cause resentment (bloody Yanks flashing their money about) as get good service.
I understand in parts of the US you tip bar staff, for the fantastic job they did in serving you a cold drink, but it varies from state to state, as does the acceptable amount of the tip.

There's more to it on tipping the bar staff- I've been told that in order to ensure a generous serving of the "good stuff" rather than a watered down version of it, you tip. That btw, is applicable to resorts in the Carib and Mexico, but I would think it's applicable elsewhere.

When I was waitressing back in the Dark Ages, 1.00 an hour was the normal wage, and 15 percent was the tip rate. Right or wrong that's the way it is so here it IS the custom of the country UNLESS it is included in the bill (usually for groups), so............
PS When I lived in Europe, we were told that service was included, BUT if we wished, we could round up the bill to the nearest whole figure as means of a tip.
