Per Person: $118 ÷ 2 = $59
Restaurants:
15-20% is standard for good service. 10% for poor service, 20%+ for exceptional service.
Bars & Cafes:
$1-2 per drink or 15-20% of the total bill is customary.
Taxis & Rideshare:
10-15% of the fare is typical. Round up for short rides.
Hair Salons:
15-20% for stylists and colorists is standard practice.

What if I'm paying with a card?
You can add the tip amount to your card payment or round up to the nearest dollar for convenience.

Tipping is customary in many countries but not mandatory. It's a way to reward good service.
