Bangladeshis the most generous tippers in South Asia

[jaunty]

Tipping is a western concept borrowed by high end indian resturants forcing us to mimic western so called etiquette.....before that there was no culture of tipping in india, there still is none in low end restaurants free from these so called etiquette.

No it is a Bangladeshi concept perfected by jamatis.

So only those with MasterCard were surveyed? Meaning people with sufficient money to eat in restaurants ...if even they are stingy...what can one say

And how honestly they answered the questions prob should be questioned

Hence can the answers be generalized over the whole population?

I dont like MasterCard I prefer visa Plus I dont eat much at restaurant am more into home cooking...right amount of chilli and right about of taste, freshness plus healthy

I dont like MasterCard I prefer visa

Why? What's the difference?

Btw Mastercard only tracked those transactions where tips were included in the card payment, cash tips were not counted, so the data is not fully correct, I guess they just tracked the transactions.

In the US tipping is almost mandatory, although no one forces you to (unless you have a large group then gratuity is sometimes included in the check) you are supposed to tip. It is because many jobs where tipping is customary like waiting tables don't pay the minimum wage, they are not required to. I generally tip 15-20% but I would much rather have a system where everyone gets a decent wage and no one has to depend on the tips, like in Australia for example.

My MasterCard keeps getting stuck for online shopping and sometimes overseas...stupid "security system" half the time the website is down!

Visa is way better....so far their card always works

I heard that even cab drivers are paid hefty tips in US, is it true?

[Shardul.....the lion]

Yeah I prefer giving tips in small hotels as the waiters are usually from poorer background but not in big hotels....

If thats the case than why are you so OBSESSED with our nation to write a complete book on that & giving links on threads which has no relation to it, I mean you open a thread on "McD operating in BD" & than write, For more about the dangerous nexus between McD in BD & McD in India, read India Doctrine

Yes minimum 15% if you are satisfied. This is a good guide about how much one should tip for a service, many people generally tip more than what it says on it though CNN/Money: How much to tip

 

[my2cents]

Why should we give a tip anyway.....the service charge is already included in the price of the meal....

Most small restaurants don't charge service charge, so you are expected to tip the waiter. I do tip the waiters generously but if I see service charge on my bill then I don't tip the waiter.

The service charge is being added to the bill is new thing these days.
