A bit of history the "tip" The neo

The word "tip" comes from the French "race" (sleeve), my sleeve and it was just that the lady gave to the chivalrous knight in ceremonies, and today is a recognition of the care received.

With the tip is rewarded those who have served with particular diligence and kindness, but if you absolutely must leave to do so and 'was the owner, and it' goes without saying that we should not feel obligated to do so if you have not 'been treated well.

E 'compensation voluntary but in practice almost compulsory for the waiters at the bar or restaurant, for the cloakroom, the guardians of the toilet, the hotel staff, personal care workers and taxi drivers.

The word "tip" is never uttered, the act must be discreet, veiled, and does not force you to reach out. At the restaurant a tip is left on the saucer of the account or directly to the cashier, and in the latter case, 'the case is premunira' to alert the waiter what it has received in his favor. At the bar, and 'just round off the amount, leaving small change of the rest on the saucer.


But if the tip in some countries, especially communist ideology, not 'not welcome, conversely, in others' even mandatory:

- in the United States' mandatory for the waiters of the restaurant (if on the menu 'is not specified that the service' inclusive) and taxi drivers, to the extent of 15% of the bill, and this 'and' motivated by the fact that wages for these categories of workers are very low and the tip and 'already' including in the calculation of the monthly salary: would not give it in a way to remove money from their paycheck! ... And no one escapes even paying with their credit card receipt which bears a signature space provided for the tip to fill (and attention, which otherwise might be to compile even a few dishonest!)

- Egypt tip ("bakshish") and 'request to anyone who pays a service or sell something and the amount' at the discretion of staff, but to tip waiters, drivers and guides is indispensable in order to ensure a good service ...;

- in France, from 'almost every time anyone pays a service, including employees at the pump and the guardians of the parking;

- in Finland and India will be rejected if the drivers possess a taximeter;

- China, Cuba and North Korea, the communist ideology considers humiliating;

- Japan and Polynesia and 'considered detrimental to the dignity' of the recipient;

- in Thailand and 'considered equal almsgiving.
