Tipping
Tipping is customary in the U.S. for most services including waiters/waitresses, barbers and hairdressers, taxi drivers, etc. In general, a tip of 15% to 20% of the total bill amount is given if service is satisfactory. Bellhops, doormen, porters, etc., at hotels, airports, and train stations are generally paid $1 per item of luggage they carry. Maids are generally tipped $2 per day if your stay is more than one night. Tips are not appropriate for government employees, police, store and hotel front desk clerks, or bus drivers.
