Hate tipping? Nine countries that don't expect you to leave a gratuity - including three where leaving a tip is an INSULT
Tipping can be an etiquette minefield while travelling abroad
Visit one of these countries if the gesture is one that taints your holiday

Tipping is a sign of decency, an indication you appreciate the effort your server, taxi driver, or porter has put into looking after you.
It can, however, be an etiquette minefield while travelling abroad, not to mention a costly gesture.
For those who hate the mental gymnastics that come with adding 15 per cent onto a bill at the end of a wine-soaked meal or tire of working out when and where to tip, you might consider a getaway to one of these countries.
That's because they're nations where it's considered poor form to leave a tip - and in some, tipping is downright insulting.
Australia
Down under, tipping isn't expected, though neither is it sniffed at. In bigger cities a 10 per cent service charge is often included in the bill, and you won't raise any eyebrows leaving a tip when you order a flat white.
Switzerland
It's not customary to tip in Switzerland, where service charges are included in prices in most places under federal law. That said, if you're pleased with your service a gratuity would be welcome.
But don't fret about ensuring the waiters are adequately compensated: the country has one of the highest minimum wages in the world.
Argentina
A curious one. Under a 2004 labour law it is illegal to tip people working in hotels or restaurants. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, nor that it isn't welcome.
The law isn't regularly enforced, though - tipping accounts for approximately 40 per cent of the average Argentine waiter's income, so it's a kindness to leave a little something.
French Polynesia
No one expects a tip in French Polynesia - indeed, if you're bowled over by great service and offer a gratuity, the recipient may decline it. Some restaurants attach notes to a bill to advise whether or not tips are welcome, to avoid tripping clientele up.
Singapore
Tipping is somewhat controversial in Singapore. A small offering won't cause offence when dining or taking a taxi. But it's officially discouraged: indeed, the government website states 'tipping is not a way of life' on the island.
Japan
It's a slap in the face to offer a tip in Japan, where the cultural norm is to take great pride in your work. Employees hold themselves to a very high standard when supplying a service: no gratuity is needed to be feel appreciated.
Indeed, offering a tip suggests you don't think their employer recognises their value, so doesn't pay them enough.
China
Here, it's all but forbidden. Leaving a gratuity used to be prohibited in China - for decades, leaving a tip was considered a bribe. To this day, in much of the country it's considered a personal affront to restaurant staff or hoteliers if you leave them a gratuity.
The exception are tour guides or tour bus drivers - you can hand them some cash for their troubles without causing offence.

It's true that when visiting the USA you're being made to feel like you're being begged for money. I don't particularly enjoy travelling to countries where you have to haggle for everything either. The feeling I get is the same but those tend to be developing countries, unlike the USA.

Visiting LA from the UK last year I was in a store in Santa Monica that sells Christmas stuff all year round, baubles etc… Had a wander round, didn’t speak to or see any staff at all, picked a souvenir bauble up & took it to the till to pay. The cashier spun one of their iPad gadgets around and I could see it was asking me to leave a tip! I asked the cashier what I as being asked to tip for, and she replied…. ‘for my smile?’!… Tipping is out of control over there now, it’s ridiculous.

The USA has lost its marbles. The MINIMUM they expect now is 18 percent. It comes up as a list of options even when you pay be contactless card, Apple Pay etc. Cruise ships try to make it compulsory per head per day. Yet the cost of the meal in a restaurant is the same as where they PAY the waiters etc. It’s a gigantic CON! It’s why Americans abroad are fleeced so easily.

At this point , in the US, anything less than 25% is considered an insult. The worst part is that counter service (you order and then take your own food to your table) expects a 15% tip.

The more I read about this tipping conundrum, the more determined I get to stop tipping altogether. Businesses need to pay their employees a decent salary. That's what I've always done when I ran my business.Think about the following, US business owners. 1) We stop tipping. 2) Your staff can't survive on their basic earnings. 3) Your staff quits. 4) You no longer have a business !

Tipping should be at the discretion of the customer..good service good tip.
By the way why is service a % of the bill. It takes the same time and effort for the server to deliver a $70 steak as it does a $25 chicken dish. So why charge a higher tip/service charge more for serving the steak??
