Tipping
Tipping is a customary practice in the US. Waiting staff get anywhere from 10 to 20% depending on the service and how upscale the restaurant is. For parties of six or more, restaurants often add a gratuity of 15-20%. Taxi drivers get 10-15%. In a hotel, expect to tip the bellman about US$1 per bag and the maid US$2 per night.
