Tipping is a confusing practice, usually because you're never quite sure who you're supposed to tip, when, and how much. This infographic from Wait But Why shows what most people do, and what's expected at different establishments.


We've actually gone over some of this information before—in more detail, actually—but this infographic, sourced from the actual people who get tipped (waiters, cab drivers, and so on), is an interesting look into what most people do and what's generally expected. None of these are exactly hard and fast rules—and keep in mind they're New York City-based numbers—but if you've always wondered whether it's as important to tip a hotel bellman as it is a waiter, or how much, a quick glance at this will give you a good idea. Be sure to read our complete guide to tipping for a more detailed list and recommendations, too.
