[quote=GAFFER,333811]I'm not sure what the law is in China regarding tipping but in most countries it is legal but discretionary. If the person providing the service goes beyond what is expected, then perhaps they deserve a personal reward. However, when the employer becomes involved and assumes their staff will receive tips, they will often adjust the salary downwards accordingly. Their excuse being that having to earn tips makes staff work harder to please the customer. This is often the case in the US where tipping is almost mandatory and many staff earn very low hourly rate. 15% seems to be the minimum tip in a restaurant despite the quality of the service. Customers should feel guilt free about offering tips only where they are deserved.[/quote]
