restaurants and hotels automatically tag on to the bill a 10% service charge (as
you would read on the menu, often in fine print). So giving a 2% tip is enough
in general. Small eating places may not have a 10% charge, but a 2% tip is
till accepted practice. One place that you need to get prepared with some
coins to tip with is the hotel bathroom. Not the one in your own room, thankfully.
In bigger hotels, there is someone there to attend to your needs - hand you a
towel or even a comb. It is a dirty job, but someone wants to do it!
