Tips, which are received in gratitude from visitors to employees of hotels, catering establishments, as well as hairdressers and taxi drivers, make up a significant, and sometimes the bulk of their income. In New York, where the service industry is well developed, tipping is expected and highly regarded.

Nowadays, more and more restaurants have a “no tip” policy - they either add a service charge to the bill, or charge an administration fee, or increase prices (usually indicated on the menu or invoice). The money received is used to better pay the employees of the institution.

But, alas, many do not know how much tip to leave. If you are one of them, then here are some tips for you:

  • Hotel doorman: for calling a taxi, it is supposed to leave him $ 1 in gratitude.
  • Receptionist and messengers: $ 1-2 per bag.
  • Cleaners: $ 1-2 per day per visit or up to $ 5 per day.
  • Waiters and bartenders: 15-20% of the total bill. Bartenders usually expect at least a $ 1 tip for every drink they serve you. Later, when the bar is full, you will be glad the mixologist remembered you!
  • Taxi drivers: 15-20% of the total tariff.
  • Hairdressers: 15-20% of the total cost of services.

Gratuities in the form of gratuities will also be welcomed by people involved in other areas of service, such as movie theater workers, tour guides and cloakroom attendants.
