When in doubt, tip – this is a rule of thumb in the States, and, like Canada, the tips are generous and factored into the workers’ wages.
In restaurants, for meals it’s 15-20 percent minimum. It’s always possible to tip with cards. At the bar tip $1 for every drink ordered. Pay an extra 20 percent for spa treatments, hairdressing and tour guides.
$1 is the going rate for hotel bus boys, bell hops and porters for every bag or box carried. For this reason, it’s useful to carry Dollar bills just for tipping.
For short taxi rides, expect to tip $1, but 15-20 percent for rides from the airport.
