Tipping

Show me...

Tipping is done in Britain just as in the United States, but at a lower level. So, although it might make you uncomfortable, tipping less than you would back home in restaurants—and not tipping at all in pubs—is not only accepted, but standard. Tipping more can look like you're showing off. Do not tip movie or theatre ushers, elevator operators, or bar staff in pubs—although you can always offer to buy them a drink.
