When you receive good service in a restaurant, the usual custom is to give a monetary tip. And many people tip for other services like food delivery, cleaning, ride share, and others.
But there are times when how you tip and when you tip is rude. And depending on where you are or which service is provided to you, there may not be a need for a tip.
Tipping Isn’t the Same Worldwide
Unlike in the United States, tipping is unusual in many parts of the world. For many years, tipping was considered rude in places such as China and Hong Kong, although tipping is becoming increasingly common in some popular tourist areas.
