Do you tip your waitress or delivery driver? If not, why?

If I have enough money on me, I might tip.

In America I tipped all the time. In Australia though, never, because they actually pay their workers.

I tip 20% most of the time and more if the service is exceptional, I think tipping is a good way of paying for and acknowledging someone doing more than what their job asks them to in a way a verbal compliment can't.

no because it's not really expected or needed in sweden

I live in the US so yes I usually tip 15-20% because usually waiters, etc. are not paid very well. BUT I only tip if I am being "waited" on at a table or someone is delivering the food to me, and I NEVER tip when I order something at the counter. I've heard from others that if you tip someone at the register, the tip doesn't really get back to them. But if you do feel the need to tip them, its better to give them cash in a tip jar.

It's actually quite uncommon where we live, we don't really tip in restaurants except something really exceptional has been done perhaps. We also don't tip taxi drivers or cleaning staff at hotels. I do believe that's because in the US these staff do not get a full hourly wage, so they have to rely on tips? Here it's not the case.

However when I'm in the US, I always make sure to tip appropriately.

We appreciate you

I usually tip 10-15%. Also, is it normal for restaurants to include tip in the bill automatically? My fave sushi place does that.
