"Unveiling the Truth: Etiquette Experts Expose Common Misconceptions About Tipping in America"

A recent survey on tipping practices in the US reveals that only 65% of Americans always tip at restaurants, with 5% admitting to never tipping at all. Etiquette experts provide guidelines for tipping in various situations, including recommending a 20% tip for restaurant servers, 10-20% for food delivery, 15-20% for taxi and rideshare drivers, and discretionary tipping for baristas. They also suggest leaving $3-5 per day for hotel housekeeping and optional tips for takeout. However, it is not customary to tip professionals such as electricians, plumbers, or doctors.
