I was trying to keep it quick and simple, but it will never work....<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just ran into someone born and raised overseas. He brought up the subject of tipping. He said that when he came to the U.S. he left up to 10% thinking it was an enormous tip. He then found out how waiters rely on tips here for income.
He also said in foreign countries, with a decent salary and benefits, a small tip is just a little extra that isn't expected, but appreciated. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
