A peculiar question I was posed lately - why do you tip a waitress or waiter for doing their job.
I know that tipping is big in the cities of the states, it is non existent here in UK. It is almost an affront to someone's dignity if you tip them a pound at the bar for pouring you beers.
My bird and I go to Spain often and the tipping culture is there as well - just on a micro scale to the usa. There's no set rules, you could have a 100 euro meal and leave 50 euro cents and it would not be frowned upon, whereas in England we say every other round of beer 'have one for yourself' which, means either take a couple quid or run a beer through the till for yourself... and we'll all pretend you didn't take the money.
