Als Antwort auf Miss T.
Hi Miss T, thanks for asking me that. It is very important to know such customs, otherwise people will think you’re rude… In Germany it is common to give tips to waiters or waitresses. You usually tip 10 percent. If you don’t give any tips that’s a sign that you weren’t satisfied with the service. So let’s say the waiter says „Das macht 36,60 Euro“. Then you can simply say: „Machen Sie 40“ and give him the money. Or if he says „13,40 Euro“, you can say „15 bitte“ and hand him the money, for example a 20-Euro-bill. He will then give you 5 back.
