Tipping with Euros
 

Anyone familiar wit tipping guidelines using the Euro in Italy? Tips such as dinning, cafe-barista, taxi.

100% is the easiest rule to remember.<BR><BR>It's basically about begging for a living, you know.<BR><BR>And our employers saying "Dear customers, I am too stupid and lazy to do employee performance evaluations or figure out the appropriate compensation for my employees. Will you do it for me, with no thanks whatsoever?"<BR><BR>

Hi Larry, actually I should imagine a Euro would be much easier then trying to figure in tips with lira...all those 0000's... It drove us mad. <BR>In Italy always be sure that a service charge has not been included on the check, as often times it is. My husband and I usually leave an additional 5% when the service charge is on the bill... (if the service was good) and the standard 15-20% if it is not included. As of today (I just looked it up) 122 Euros equals $106.00 USD so it shouldn't be terribly hard to figure in gratuity since it's so close to US. Taxi's we tip roughly 10-15% of the fare price,,, not the price for the fare plus luggage.. pretty much follow the same rules you would if you were in any city.

to the top<BR>

voting for the most idiot question of the weeks. anyone gonna top this?
