question for Americans!

[deird1]

Dear helpful flisty people,


A friend of mine will shortly be going to your fine country, and, being an Aussie, has no idea about tipping.

So...
- Who are you supposed to tip?
- When?
- How much are you supposed to tip them?

Any info you could provide would be very useful.


With love, from a confused Aussie

thank you all for this, it is most helpful! As a completely confused Aussie, how much do I tip bag carrying people, drivers ect? Tipping in this way is entirely foreign in Australia, and I don't wish to offend. Trying to be a good tourist! Thanks again.

Do you have a smartphone? There are apps where you can look up proper tipping for various situations.
