Apparently, there’s confusion over how much we should tip abroad. In fact, 65% of people are too generous with their gratuities – perhaps to avoid embarrassment, according to new research attributed to ICE (International Currency Exchange).
It’s reckoned that tips of up to 20% are normal in the USA and Canada and 10% is fine across Europe – apart from France, where as little as 5% will delight waiters and taxi drivers alike. However, be warned … tipping is considered an insult in Japan!
