Hey Cass,
I don't recall you actually being of French origin but please correct me if I am wrong. My VERY simple post which I am not trying to be a jerk by posting, is based on my experience living her for 6 months a year over the last 7 years. I believe I met you and your lovely wife once? Not trying to really be harsh but I live hear and take care of people the way I want to be taken care of. GOOD KARMA, Pass it on....What goes around comes around. Has always worked out for me in life and I am sticking to that policy. kr
What's the deal with tipping in restaurants?
I've seen opposing views on tripadvisor. With one saying it's okay not to tip as you are in France, another person saying to round up to nearest 10 (5-20€ max), and another into detail about tip vs servis compris (said this at the bottom of the Langouste menu, think it meant service included, but not a tip in the traditional American sense as it doesn't go direct to waiter/staff and is taxed), and how it's also considered rude to not leave anything.
I noticed when paying with a card in some restaurants, there's a tip line to tip at your discretion where as other restaurants don't even have a tip line. I wonder if it's because they are more accustomed to Chip & PIN? The more touristy places like ER have the tip line.
Thanks!
You are correct in answering the post but as the thread gets longer it gets confusing with pourboire and all of that. Andy's post is a perfect answer or a simple " the tip as we know it is not included." IMOThe OP had this question. Perhaps in the future we should just ignore a Newbies question since "we" all know the answer and are complicating the topic
We have complicating simple concepts down to an art form in here
+1 :up:
Kimberly and Andy,
Randy and I are with you. I think I comes from being former service industry workers, not being wealthy. We also save up for our annual trip and hope we are viewed as generous, not foolish.
