Visitors to the USA are often surprised by how many types of workers it is customary to tip, and how much of a tip is considered appropriate. It can also work the other way, with American travelers over tipping almost to the point of causing confusion or offense in other countries. It is always a good idea to research the etiquette for things like tipping in countries you plan to visit, so you can avoid any social embarrassment.

Are the workers in service roles just less appreciated in those countries?
