한국은 팁이 보편화되지 않은 반면에 미국은 그 어느 나라보다도 팁 주기가 보편화되어 있고 일상화된 곳입니다. 아래의 CNN Money의 팁 가이드를 숙지하시면 난감한 상황에 도움이 되실 것 같습니다.

If you ask 10 people how much to tip in a given situation, you'll get several answers and a slew of hot-headed opinions about the "right" thing to do.
To help start your next debate, here's a quick guide to customary gratuities for various services. The guide is provided by the Emily Post Institute. Those with passionate views about how much to tip the pizza-delivery guy, please see the information in the footnote provided by two other sources.

* Mike Lynn, associate professor of consumer behavior at the Cornell Hotel School suggests tipping pizza delivery folk a minimum of $2 per pizza. His reasoning: Food delivery can be dangerous if delivering to crime-ridden neighborhoods or driving in bad weather, etc. The Web site www.tipthepizzaguy.com suggests the following: 15% for normal service, with a $2 minimum; 20% for excellent service; 10% or less for poor service; at least 10% for orders of $50 or more. Don't assume a delivery charge, if there is one, goes to the pizza deliverer. Ask the person who takes your order.

- 각 상황에 맞는 팁을 알고 싶으시면 아래를 참고 하세요.
제가 서버로 일하면서 느낀점 말씀드리고 싶네요. 서버들은 시간당 페이가 거의 없습니다. 있어도 세금으로 다 내는 거지요. 그런데 한국 분들 손님으로 오시면 팁 정말 야박합니다. 미국에 사시면 그런 컬쳐도 좀 미국 식으로 바뀌었으면 좋겠는데요.. 많이 줘야 15%.. 대부분 미국분들은 거의 20
% 줍니다. 아주 서비스가 나쁘지 않는 한이요.. 그들은 아이들한테도 정당한 서비스 받은 만큼 값을 치루는 것을 가르킵니다. 세상엔 공짜가 없다는 걸로.. 한국문화에서는 생소한 팁문화지만 열심히 발로 뛰며 일하는 사람들을 생각 하시며 정당한 페이를 하는게 맞다고 봅니다.
