and as the previous poster said, a 10% tax is included in your restaurant bills anyway, so i don't ever tip. i have gringo friends that tip, for whatever reason, but i don't. i'm not in america, i don't abide by american customs/rules/traditions. i live in costa rica, therefore i live by tico customs/rules/traditions. and here, you don't tip additionally at restaurants.
