Io e il mio amico abbiamo appena visitato un bar a Colonia e abbiamo discusso di quanto dare la mancia.

Io ho detto arrotondare a 95€ mentre lui ha detto 100€.

Gente, che mancia dareste?

    Both are ok. For me it would depends on how you liked the service.

  2. 5v3n_5a3g3w3rk on

    5%~10% so when the service was ok 95 and if it was good 100

  3. SuspiciousEmploy1742 on

    If I am spending €92,50 at a bar why not spend a €100

    I follow my first German managers words “Don’t start American culture in Germany”

    100€ is around 8% tip. (5-10%) is “normal” in germany

  6. Both are in the normal range. Probably would’ve gone with 100€ myself if my friends and I had put money together.

    And this is (as we certainly have the discussion again here in the thread) the common way tipping is done in Germany since forever.

    100€, rule of thumb is 10%, so whatever that amounts to roughly and preferably a neat number.
    But still, for me tipping is a service expense. I selectively don’t tip if the service sucked.

    Its fine either way. We actually pay proper salary. Not like in the US where the population supports terrible salary by tipping like idiots.

    A friend in France once explained to me why they do not tip: it is the job of the boss to pay the staff a decent salary and not the job of the customer.

  10. Unless you were extremly happy / blown away with both the waiter and the restaurant I would simply round up 2-4€. In most cases that ends up with a number dividable by 5.

    I don’t think 5-10% reflects tipping culture in Germany. It’s more like rounding while adding a little bonus.

  11. sutema88 on

    German here, would give 100 unless service was utterly bad.

  12. caipi_pn on

    10% is a reasonable tip depending on your experience. round it up to 100 seems like a good tip here. 2,50 seems low if you feel good served.

  13. MyPigWhistles on

    ~ 10%, unless the service was shit. 100€ is a nice, round number. 95€ is better than nothing, though. Not everyone tips. 

  14. Capable_Owl8607 on

    The most German thing here is to argue about 5€ and post about it on the internet.

  15. Justeff83 on

    I think that’s pretty poor, you seem to have had a good evening. That’s clearly a case for 100 straight, if no waitress was rude to you.

  16. I’m more appalled that someone would order a Budweiser in Germany.

  17. Previous-Offer-3590 on

    95 feels a little low, 100 feels a little high for me. Probably I would give 98

  18. Holymaryfullofshit7 on

    In Germany you typically go even number to approximately 10%. So if the service was good it “should be” 100. But 95 is totally fine.

  19. cauliflowerthrowaway on

    Either is fine, but on a Saturday evening 100 is more appropriate.

  20. Sereni-tea42 on

    Tipping is not required, certainly not justified at these prices.

  21. Top-Efficiency-7329 on

    92 euro is like two days worth of netto work for me

  22. Local_Campaign_4495 on

    It depends! I personally would leave 95, but I don’t have much money. For massive drinking I‘d also go anywhere where the beer costs lower than 6,2€. For this scale 100 seems fine to me. Plus, it depends on how much you liked the service. The salaries are fine without tips, so it’s basically your „danke“.

  23. nothingtohidemic on

    Unless there was a reason to complain I’d make this 100 eur for sure

  24. both is fine imo.

    If the service was nice and very attentive, then imo 100€ is certanly justified.

  25. AdEmergency6360 on

    More than 5€ for a beer? I think they can pay waiters a good salary, so 95€ is totally ok

  26. Well if ya paying more than 5 euro per beer tipping is already included cause if the bar owner ask those prices and still pay no livable salary idk what he is doing with all those profits
