How much do you tip?

As we say here in Australia…no worries, mate. :slight_smile:

Where did I lecture? “No it doesn’t” refered to your assertion that TIPS is an acronym.

FWIW, I also tip according to the American custom when I’m in the US (in fact, I think I started a thread asking Americans how to tip when in the country).

My experiences are a little different. I found American service to be slightly more attentive than what you get in Australia and in the UK (I’ll leave Asian service out of it)–small things like asking about drink refills and desserts.
