Mein Freund und ich haben gerade eine Bar in Köln besucht und besprochen, wie viel Trinkgeld wir geben sollten.

Ich sagte, runden Sie es auf 95 € auf, während er 100 € sagte.

Wie würdet ihr Trinkgeld geben?

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

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

  3. 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.

    Yeah, 10% is always a good orientation. The bigger the bill the more generous one might be if you liked the service.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    I’d do 100, if it was really good 110.

    /edit I now see it’s mostly drinks, then 100.

  10. 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.

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