Travelore Tips: 20 Countries Where You Don’t Need To Leave A Tip

401kcalculator.org

In America, the required minimum wage for a server is $2.13 per hour — yikes! It’s easy to see why they would have to rely on generous gratuities from patrons to make rent or support their family. But while tipping is an integral part of our culture, in other countries around the world, a dollar tip can be unappreciated or even downright offensive. (Don’t worry, waitstaff in these countries are compensated more fully; the average wage of waiters in Australia, for example, is $15.04 per hour.)

Of course, this doesn’t just extend to restaurant waiters. We’re often used to tipping cab drivers, deliverymen, bartenders, and more. While there might always be some exceptions and regional customs — like rounding up taxi fares to the nearest dollar in Scandinavia or still tipping for valet parking and hotel housekeeping — here’s a handy list of countries where you generally don’t need to leave an extra bill or coin. Keep this list handy for your next trip abroad.
