看到19楼写这么长的贴子，不看吧，对不住人家，看吧，英语不灵。只好找Google给翻译了一下，没想到，Google还挺幽默的，看的我直笑：


从华尔街Jounal：

我通常小费优良的餐饮服务，坚实的服务为15％和10％的服务质量差的20％。
我想我是慷慨。原来，这让我，充其量，平均自卸车。

提示已上升一段时间。在20世纪50年代，人们普遍放倒10％的法案说，美国康奈尔大学酒店管理学院的迈克尔·林恩。由20世纪70年代和80年代，小费标准已经上升到15％的标签。如今，人们普遍小费15％至20％，平均约18％的小费。

你通常小费多少？你小费少了很多，如果服务是好是坏了，如果服务好？你觉得提示已经超出上升的原因？分享您的想法。
。
秘诀为何上涨？谁在书面上引爆论文40余篇，林恩博士说，人倾斜，使服务器上的一个良好的印象。 “如果我想服务器真的很喜欢我，我不得不离开高于平均水平的小费，”他说。 “如果我想服务器不喜欢我，我有离开的平均小费。在提示的上升趋势的动态线索。”

有在桌子上的钱很多。美国人小费约为42亿美元的一年，估计奥弗H.阿扎尔，以色列本 - 古里安大学内盖夫，谁研究引爆，而他在美国攻读博士学位

尽管经济危机，不看提示变得越来越小很快。博士。林恩和阿扎尔说，可能继续推技巧更高，尽管逐渐接受同样的社会因素。

“这些变化是几十年来，没有一年的年博士说：”阿扎尔。 “我不认为在五年内，25％将成为常态。”

尽管我的削减成本的方法，其实我是有同情的餐厅帮助。我在1980年成为全职记者之前的最后一份工作是作为一个在加州的一家法国餐厅打杂的工作。校车接送学生的表被繁重的工作。服务员会给我们分享他们的秘诀，和额外的$或$ 20我参加了上周六晚上回家，我当年赚大钱。

餐厅拥有由伊朗移民在伊朗的人质危机。 （如果这听起来像什么的彼得·塞勒斯的电影，这是什么感觉。）商业，把它亲切，是零星的。一个星期天的晚上，餐厅预定只有一个服务员和一个打杂，我。出于某种原因，我们得到了业务运行 - 比我们能处理多个表。

已在这个特别的服务员一会儿。他告诉我，有没有一点想给大家做好服务。这是不可能的，我们只是刺激大家。相反，他告诉我说，他要挑选某些表和良好的服务（和良好的提示），他会得到休息，当他能。所以这是发生了什么事。

最近在新泽西州的意大利餐厅的女服务员拉着我的妻子，克拉丽莎和我相同的号码。我们的晚餐了永远来，并从那里差。女服务员冲进来帮助其他客户，我们不得不等待15或20分钟的甜点菜单上，该法案还有另一个漫长的等待。

我知道到底发生了什么事，想给小费她的10％。克拉丽莎nixed。在餐厅的食物是相当不错的，她想再次回来。一个糟糕的尖端，让他们心烦。所以，我们损害：15％。

我们的解决方案是不寻常的。康奈尔大学的博士林恩说，人小费有点差，当他们得到不好的服务，但不显着。 “晴天是外引爆数量上的影响为大，服务质量，”他说。

How much to tip

If you ask 10 people how much to tip in a given situation, you'll get several answers and a slew of hot-headed opinions about the "right" thing to do.

To help start your next debate, here's a quick guide to customary gratuities for various services. The guide is provided by the Emily Post Institute. Those with passionate views about how much to tip the pizza-delivery guy, please see the information in the footnote provided by two other sources.

(For a look at the real reasons we tip and whether tipping has anything to do with the quality of service we receive, click here.)


RESTAURANTS/BARS
Waiter/waitress: 15% of bill (excl. tax) for adequate service; 20% for very good service; no less than 10% for poor service
Headwaiter/captain: often gets a cut of table server's tip; so tip your server extra to reward captain, or tip captain separately
Sommelier, or wine steward: 15% of cost of the bottle
Bartender: 15% to 20% of the tab, with a minimum of 50 cents per soft drink, $1 per alcoholic drink
Coatroom attendant: $1 per coat
Parking valet or garage attendant: $2 to bring your car to you
Washroom attendant: 50 cents to $1
  



DAILY LIFE
Taxi driver: Varies depending on locality. Assume 15% will be enough; an extra $1 to $2 for help with bags.
Food delivery person:* 10% of the bill (excl. tax), at least $1 for bills up to $10. Should tip 15%-20% for a difficult delivery.
Grocery loader: Check with store policy if tips are accepted. If so, $1 for bringing bags to car; $1.50 to $3 if you have more than 3 bags.
Barber: 15% to 20%, minimum $1, for a haircut. For other services (shampoo, shave or manicure) tip $1 to $2 to service provider.
Hairdresser: 15% to 20%. (It is now acceptable to tip owner, unless he or she says otherwise.)
Shampoo person: $2
Manicurist: 15%
Spa service (e.g., massage): 15% to 20%. If service is provided by owner, no tip.
Staff at coffee/food retailers with tip jars: No tip required. It's completely optional.
Handyman: No tip
Gas attendant: No tip
* Mike Lynn, associate professor of consumer behavior at the Cornell Hotel School suggests tipping pizza delivery folk a minimum of $2 per pizza. His reasoning: Food delivery can be dangerous if delivering to crime-ridden neighborhoods or driving in bad weather, etc. The Web site www.tipthepizzaguy.com suggests the following: 15% for normal service, with a $2 minimum; 20% for excellent service; 10% or less for poor service; at least 10% for orders of $50 or more. Don't assume a delivery charge, if there is one, goes to the pizza deliverer. Ask the person who takes your order.

  



TRAVEL
Skycap at airport: $1 per bag if you check-in curbside; $2 per bag if skycap takes bags to check-in counter.
Hotel doorman: $1 per bag for help with luggage; $1 per person for hailing a cab
Hotel bellhop: $1 per bag for bringing luggage to your room (but a $2 minimum if you have just one bag)
Hotel housekeeper: $2 to $5* per night
Hotel concierge: $5 for getting you tickets or reservations ($10-plus if they're hard to get). No tip required when you ask for directions.
Cruise: Varies. Ask cruise line about customary gratuities.

good to know.  thx.

I work in a Chinese restaurant and understand how customers tip. There are some customers who pay really well and there are those who doesn't. However, it is not fair that you compare the tipping process here with China. In the US servers are depended on gratuities Because they get pay less salary. Meanwhile, servers in China don't depend on gratuities because they get higher pays in salary. Overall, servers who work here, their tips will be averaged out to a decent amount at the end of the night. Lastly, it's not whether or not people are being cheap , well maybe few are but you can't stereotype. I believe it has to do with cultural differences. America is a country where people expect gratuities in almost everything. While China is all about hardworking, getting the work done. There are pros and cons and I can go on and on but it's just simply differences in culture. Lastly, you're the odd ball if you go to China and insist on paying gratuity when it's not expected. So, please have pride in your country instead of bashing it.
