Tipping in US makes me nervous, I never really sure who I should tip (the door man? the bell boy? every time? the guy who open your cab door? the helpful receptionist?)... cab drivers?
it's actually fairly straight forward in restaurants - someone told me to take the tax amount times 2 for tips, that would be something like 16-20% (depends on the state?) And to be honest, the whole tipping system makes me suspicious about waiters' "nice attitude". While I know there's nothing wrong working for your tips, but I do prefer the "no tipping but still great service" way they have in Japan.
It's a job - their employers should compensate them properly in the first place!
