Here’s some great tips for tipping in the UK for Americans and alike. It seems that tips are less common.
| While tipping still happens in the UK, it is neither quite as common or as much as it is in the US/North America. Many professions which in the US which are paid specifically less than the minimum wage because they earn tips are paid at least a minimum wage in the UK. While tipping is always appreciated, you won’t be chased down the street by someone screaming at you for a cheap (or non-existant) tip. |
| However, as the comments to that post noted, tipping in pubs is done elsewhere in the UK. This is probably where you need to do a bit of follow-the-leader. If there’s a jar for tips, and/or other customers are leaving tips, then I would suggest you do the same. Rounding up to the nearest pound or adding 10-15% would be common in these establishments. |
