I once got a '≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ british' comment off a NYC taxi driver after tipping him $20. I was so anxious after that! Had just arrived and was pretty clueless at the time. I'm not sure I've ever mastered it. I thought I was being generous at the time!

One thing to note with food, you should be tipping the before tax total. I never knew this for years and waiters always seemed to be really grateful even when I left a lower tip as the service wasn’t that good. 😂
As others have said most bills come with the suggested tips now and 20% is considered standard compared to 18% pre-pandemic (shakes fist at inflation). For anything else I always have to check guides before coming across the situation as I can never remember and it is annoying as I don’t want to be rude.

The difference is pretty marginal unless you have a VERY big bill.
On a family eating out in a restaurant and running up a $100 bill, tax is under $6 of that. If you're tipping at 20%, that means the difference in the tip between pre-tax and post-tax is about a dollar. Yes, that's one dollar. No server is going to be melting in front of your for an extra dollar. |

Well obviously I just have a nice personality then as they always seemed so very thankful and overly so.

More likely they've served tip-shy Brits before so were delighted to get one who tipped more respectfully!

For those asking about Uber tips...
It does give you 3 amounts to choose from, but there is also an option to add your own tip and put any amount in you desire. |
