The word tip comes from an old English slang word that means ‘to give’. It’s both a noun and a verb. Americans usually tip people in places like restaurants, airports, hotels, and hair salons.
People who work in these places often get paid low wages. A tip shows that the costumer is pleased with the service.
Sometimes, it’s hard to know how much to tip. The size of the tip usually depends on the service. People such as parking valets o bellhops usually get smaller tips. The tip for people such as taxi drivers and waiters or waitresses is usually larger. Here are a few guidelines for tipping in the United States:
· Airport porters or hotel bellhops: $1 or $2 for carrying each suitcase
· Parking valets: $1 for parking a car
· Hotel door attendants: $1 or $2 for getting a taxi
· Hotel maids: $1 to $5 per night
· Taxi drivers: 15 percent of the bill; more if they help with your bags
· Waiters and waitresses: 15 to 20 percent of the bill (there is no tipping in fast food restaurants.)
· Barbers or hairstylist: 15 percent of the bill
When you’re not sure about how much to tip, do what feels right. You don’t have to tip for bad service. And you can give a bigger tip for very good service. Remember, though, your behavior is more important than your money. Always treat service providers with respect.
