i still remember the confusion and frustration when first coming here many years ago, when i had no idea when a tip is expected. ex. in a country outside of US, a tip of 15-20% at a restaurant is ridiculous. and even in the US, you don't tip a contractor.... i've no problem with it if everybody is expected to do the same, but wanted to be sure.
