Tipping
Some restaurants include a service charge of between 10 and 15 per cent. Where there isn't a service charge most people leave between 10 and 15 per cent, depending upon the level of service received. Although not compulsory quite a few people will leave a little change in a coffee bar if the service has been acceptable, but this is less usual than in restaurants. Taxi drivers are usually given 10 per cent of the fare.
