What are the tipping etiquette in different countries? How much tip should I give to a waiter/waitress?

2My original question ( travel.stackexchange.com/questions/229/… ) about references for tipping etiquettes has been closed by Joel since "we want answers, not links to answers". According to the relatively large number of upvotes such a tipping reference database would be useful, so I rephrase the question. Someone please change the question to community wiki.– asalamon74Commented Jun 24, 2011 at 19:42

This is an open-ended list question and as such is also discouraged on SE I believe. One option is to make it a "community wiki" but those apparently have some issues. Another option is to just ask about each place you're interested in separately.– hippietrailCommented Jun 25, 2011 at 4:00

Yeah. I wrote about why this should be closed -- the short version is it's not a genuine question... if you really wanted to know you would have typed "tipping" into Google and found a million exhaustive references.– Joel SpolskyCommented Jun 25, 2011 at 14:26

Kicking off with a few I know...
UK:
- Restaurants - 10% (but check the bill - it's sometimes already put on there, especially for big groups)
- Taxis - 10%
- Pubs/Bars - none
France:
- Restaurants - 5-10%
- Taxi - round up
- Pubs/Bars - none
Australia:
- Restaurants - 10% (generally only mid price - fancy restaurants only though)
- Taxis - round up
- Pubs/Bars - none
USA:
- 15-20% to almost everyone...
