If you eat within a restaurant where a staff person takes your food order at the table, and brings you your food, then you should tip them. If you are at a fast food restaurant where you order at a counter (like McDonald's), you do not have to tip even if you eat inside the restaurant. If you order food for takeout, you do not have to tip.

At hotels, you do not tip people at the check-out counter. However, if a busboy takes your luggage to your room, you do tip him. Also if you stay more than one night, you can leave money in the room as a tip to the staff who have been cleaning the room.

These are the usual people you will interact with on a trip to the US. Some expect tips and some do not. - a porter (someone who carries your bags for you at the airport or the hotel): $1 or $2 per bag - the driver of a shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel: $1, plus another $1/bag if they help you with your bags - taxi drivers: 10% to 15% - the hotel employees that do check-in and check-out: no tip - the hotel concierge (the hotel employee who helps you with problems like making reservations at a restaurant): $10 per request - hotel housekeeping (the people who clean your hotel room): $2 or $3 per night - restaurant waiters and bartenders: 15% to 20% of the total bill - servers at buffet restaurants: 10% of the total bill - people who deliver food to you: 10% of the total bill - picking up food from a restaurant: $1 - cashiers at fast food restaurants: no tip - cashiers at other kinds of stores: no tip - baristas (people who make coffee drinks): $1, or the coins left over (for example, if you pay for a $2.50 coffee with a $5 bill, keep the $1 bills and leave a tip of 50 cents) Some restaurants will assume that international tourists do not know how to leave a tip, so they will automatically add a "gratuity charge" to the bill. Make sure to check to see if this charge is on your bill before you leave a tip. If the service you get is very poor, leave a smaller tip. If the service was very good, or they did something helpful that they did not need to do for you, leave a larger tip. If you are unhappy with the food in a restaurant, ask to talk to the manager. The food isn't the waiter's fault, so it is not fair to leave the waiter a smaller tip because of it.
