Navigating US Tipping Culture: A Guide for Travelers and Newcomers

A recent online video by French content creator FRENCHYLO has shed light on the intricacies of tipping culture in the United States, a topic often perplexing to international visitors. In her guide, FRENCHYLO details specific scenarios where tipping is customary and expected, such as for bartenders, taxi drivers, hotel bellhops, tour guides, valet parking attendants, and restaurant waiters. She advises that customary tips range from $1-5 for bartenders and bellhops, 15-20% for taxis and waiters, and 10% for tour guides. Conversely, the video clarifies that tipping is generally not required in fast-food establishments or coffee shops where service is provided at a counter, citing the absence of direct service. This clarification aims to assist travelers in navigating US cultural norms, following a previous instance where the creator faced criticism for her initial understanding of tipping practices.
