Just round it up, it's okay if you don't give it.

QEEQ User

Not giving

QEEQ User

At most 10%, it can be omitted

QEEQ User

I didn't give any. Many are included in the price of food.

QEEQ User

I asked local friends and they said generally give 5-10% rounded up.

QEEQ User

In regular restaurants, you can leave a small tip of around 10%. Just round up the bill. I think you don't need to leave a tip at McDonald's. Generally, you can just leave the small change as a tip for the hardworking staff. It's not easy for part-time workers.

In Germany, there is a fine of 30 euros for illegal parking, which was paid by transferring the money to a local Chinese person. After returning the car, a notification was received that the full deposit of 1000 euros would be refunded within an hour. Recently, an email was received, which seems to be a charge of 24 euros from the car rental company. Is this the so-called penalty management service fee? How can this be transferred in China, and what are the consequences if it is not paid? Does anyone know ? Germany Q&A

Violations generally do not receive information so quickly, unless they are fines issued on the spot. The pre-authorized deduction should be part of the fees charged by the car rental company other than the car rental. Please carefully check the bill to see if there are any fees that you did not notice. The car rental company will not help you handle violations, so they will not pre-authorize fees to handle them ?

Some people are willing to save tens of yuan a day, carefully checking scratches when picking up and returning the car, and paying first and then claiming compensation when an accident occurs. Some people are willing to spend money to save trouble, leaving the keys and walking away after returning the car. It's just a matter of personal habit ? Germany Q&A
