How Much Are We Supposed to Tip?

from City Cast Philly · host City Cast

The FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and soccer fans from around the world are here in Philly. But some countries have a different tipping culture from here in the United States. And recently, tipping in Philly has reached a new level. It’s everywhere. So will international visitors this summer properly tip our service workers? Because even Philadelphians don’t know when, who, and how much to tip. Here’s a conversation from last fall with host Trenae Nuri, food contributor Alisha Miranda, and executive producer Matt Katz about Philly’s tipping culture and how to tip in various situations.  Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
