United States Tipping Guide

Restaurants 15% is considered a standard tip for restaurants in North America, although some people leave 20%.

Buffet 5–10% depending on the level of service.

Taxis For cab rides in the United States, a tip of $2–$5 is considered normal. Don't be coerced by credit card machines that default to 20%.

Delivery 10% with a minimum of $3. More if they had to travel a long way.

Barista $1 for an espresso drink such as a latte. Tips are generally not expected for drip coffee.

Is Tipping a Good Thing?

We'd probably be much better off if tipping never got started. Studies have shown that tipping doesn't reflect the quality of service.

Furthermore, customers may face discrimination if they are part of a cultural group that tends to tip less. And, of course, tipping is incredibly awkward. Other countries, such as Japan and France, generally don't tip and it works well for them.

That said, tipping is often necessary because some tipped employees are paid less than minimum wage. Scroll down to see the average wages of waiters in your state.
