Preparing first visit to U.S - how seriously do you take this tipping bullshit? by Really, how much? 02/12/2009, 10:54pm PST I've seen Reservoir Dogs, but that didn't help and your tipping culture still sounds fucking confusing. Is it just 15% for everything? Do I tip when if I'm buying food to go? Will taxi drivers run me over if I leave without paying a tip? I'm not cheap, but I do want to push the limits of my cheapness for as long as my shitty currency buys so little of one of your dollars.
