Tipping : Sushi bar
Good morning everyone,
I have a question about tipping. As I am from Western Europe, the " tipping culture" is rather strange to me now that I live in the US. But I've managed to understand the minimum of it ( waitress, hairdresser.. )
My problem is about Sushi bars. I love sushis, and I love to seat at the bar to look at the chef, and chat with him.
So I order my sushis from him, and he hands them to me directly from the counter.
The waitress "only" gives me my drinks.
So, when the waitress brings the bill, and if I pay by debit card, who gets the tip ?
It would bother me if the waitress was getting it : she doesn't do too much...
( besides, the "rule" when someone only refills the drinks is about $2 / pers, not the 15/20 % "rule" ) ( at least that's what I read on some " Tipping 101 " websites ! )
Thank you for your thoughts in this matter !
