 Tipping etiquette - legacylad
Friends have commented that in a local establishment the staff now bring to your attention the tip option when paying by card.
Very in your face.
They used to leave a 5/10% tip. Now they don’t.
Personally I never have done..I only tip if the service goes above and beyond.
I resolutely refuse to subsidise wages. Which puts me in a minority of one.
Two coffees in Denia yesterday came to €2.80 so I left €3.00. More than the locals leave.
The only occasion I tip is when there is, in my opinion, exceptionally good value..we regularly dine out at a local restaurant in the evening ..3 courses, with free wine as much as you can drink, (another bottle senor?) and brandy to finish, is €17. We leave €20.

And I don’t tip in the USA either. I rarely eat in the same place twice so don’t care, and don’t get me started on added service charges in restaurants. That really riles me.
