How do Canadian immigrants pay tips?

Simply put, in Canada, if you accept others' help for your service and manpower, in most cases, you should tip the other person to express your paid thanks for your help. There are two general tips: 1) tips based on the percentage of total consumption, and 2) fixed tips.

Tip percentage

This way of tipping is actually very common, and it is usually used when the amount of tipping varies from person to person. And the tip amount is not very large (for example, 100 or less). The most common scene is eating in a restaurant. Of course, there is basically no need to tip at McDonald's and KFC, KFC or the food court of big shopping malls. You can give a coin occasionally. ) why? Because the operation mode of fast food restaurants is usually that consumers order food at the ordering place, and then wait for their own food to be ready and brought to their favorite table, and there is no table service. The so-called table service means that the waiter will help you bring food to your table and bring you tea and water. So you only need to tip if you go to a slightly more advanced restaurant. In English, this restaurant is called a sit-in restaurant, which means a restaurant that provides table service. The tip is generally 65438+ 00%-20% of the total amount. Usually it is 15%-20%, and only when the service is poor is it 10%.

In addition to eating, there are take-away food delivery staff, bar bartenders, taxi drivers, massage /SPA/ manicurists. How do you tip? If you go to a restaurant to buy takeout, of course, you don't have to tip. If you go to a fancy restaurant, you should tip a little more even when you need to dress up. If a waiter adds drinks to the buffet, you can tip 5%- 10%. If you do it yourself, you don't need to tip.

Fixed tip

If someone helps you with your luggage (airport or hotel doorman), you should usually give $65,438 +0. Your hotel has a free airport bus, and the driver will usually help you get off with your luggage (in fact, you have to tip), so you should also give the driver $65,438 +0-2, although this bus is free. Also, if there is an agent parking business, you should also give someone $65,438 +0-2. If you have a tour guide, you should also tip 2-5 dollars a day. If you really can't figure out how much to give, a simple example is to give $ 1 Another point that people often overlook is that when staying in a hotel, especially for continuous accommodation, you should leave $65,438 +0-3 for the waiter in the room every day, and the amount depends on the level of the hotel.

Of course, there are not many times when you don't have to tip, but there are still. Except for the food court, there is no need to pay for the following situations. You don't have to consult the staff in the hotel lobby about traveling. The staff who go to * * are not used to tipping (unless you win a lot of money).

Tipping is actually a kind of etiquette, expressing recognition and gratitude for the service of others. This is not a legal requirement, so there is no question of right or wrong. The skills summarized below are the minimum standards. If economic conditions permit, of course, you can give more.
