Tipping the waiters at the hotels or restaurants

When I watched some videos on YouTube, I personally liked them a lot and I thought I should write something on it, so you must also comment on this interesting article. Thank you!  

Whenever I go to eat with my friends in restaurants, I go through an ordeal - some people of my age bring food in front of me and if something falls on the table, they come and clean the table –

When I see them cleaning the table, I feel uncomfortable. Have we ever thought of putting ourselves in their place? And we clear the table in front of them just like them then how will we feel in our heart.

And with the same way if they call us with great fear or with the commanding personality and we used to go and listen to them in a very polite way –

bring food in front of them, and as they leave after lunch or dinner they give us coins or a few dollars as a charity in the name of tip...

And after they leave we pick up the dishes from the table ..... the answer is …..No ..... we can't even think of doing that.

Such thinking also makes us tremble. They are all compelled. The conditions in their home force them to do all this - we should not terrifyingly order them,

but write the order in a requesting way and when the waiter puts the food on the table, we must thank him or her, and the tip should be given at least so much that the tip, itself does not seem to be charitable.

How much tip should be given to the waiters?

There is always the issue of how much to tip them when it comes to eating in hotels or getting any service from anyone.

Although tipping has become a tradition. But in many Western countries, after eating out in hotels, there is the problem of how much to tip and not to offend the tip taker.

Sometimes up to 25% of the price of food is tipped. In some countries, such as the United States, employees are waiting to receive 25% of the bill at the tip, and if less is paid, will they be offended?

However, in many Asian countries, tipping is also considered wrong, and some servants even interpret it as begging.

A research report by the Good Housekeeping Institute, a US-based organization, has helped tippers and told them how many tips would be appropriate in which country.

Hotels in Australia and New Zealand have a 10 to 15 percent tip, a 20 percent in Canada, and a 5 to 10 percent tip in Egypt.

There is no tradition of a tip in Japan and if you tip the waiter, be prepared for a fight on his behalf. In the United States, on the other hand, every waiter is waiting for the maximum tip, and if you do not give a tip, his mood worsens.

In France, under a regular law, service charges are included in the bill, but some locals still get up from the table with a few coins on their plate.

Taxi drivers in the United States are also waiting for the tip.

In Switzerland, people usually say to round up the bills and leave a tip for the hotel staff and other workers such as hairdressers.

However, Switzerland has the highest minimum wage of any country in the world, with waiters earning up to  4,000dollars a month, and unlike their American counterparts, they did not have to rely on tips.

In some South Asian countries, the tip is not necessary. Although tipping is considered an expression of appreciation for your good service.

Although tipping in Singapore's hotels, restaurants and taxis will not be a crime, tipping is a complex issue in the country, as official websites state that tipping is not a way of life on the island.

Tipping is common in Egyptian society and is called "forgiveness" in the local language. Wealthy people in Egypt tip almost all service workers.

These range from waiters to petrol station workers. Compensation for services is welcome in Egypt, as the country's current unemployment rate is 10 percent.

Tourists visiting Iran may have been exposed to the 'introduction' ritual. In which formally refuses to take the money and even travel in a taxi, the driver may still refuse to take the fare first.

But this is not the case with tipping or tipping services, as this is a daily routine in Iranian life.

In Soviet times, the tip was not a concept and had to be ignored, because the tip was considered an insult to the middle class.

But the Russians have a word for a tip, which means "for tea."

Tip culture returned to Russia in the 2000s, but older people may still find it offensive.

YouTube Videos:

In this YouTube video, the man tells the waiters that he is not in the mood for the tip today, but wants to give you a present instead.

This guy (BigDawsTv) gives the iPhone 12 Pro to the restaurant waiter. The restaurant waiter is very happy about this. This kind of behavior is quite good and beneficial. 

In other videos, some men give hotel waiters a lot of cash. The restaurant waiters are quite surprised at this, and tears of joy flow from her eyes. 

In the above video, the customer in the restaurant has given about 30,000 dollars to the waitress.

Conclusion:

Where to Leave the Tip

Leave your tip on the hotel or restaurant table in an envelope, or put it with a thank you note. That way you don’t keep your hotel waiters guessing, and you know the money gets into the right and deserving hands.

Because they are also human beings, they also have dignity. Their environments and house conditions compel them to do so - but the truth is that they are just like us, and there is no difference between us and them.

If there is a difference, that’s is wealth and besides this, Allah is testing their patience, and we too Allah Almighty is giving us the facilities of the world to test how we deal with them.

In this regard, the excerpt from the last sermon of our Last Prophet (Mohammad-PBUH) is an ideal for humanity. Which is below.

"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action”.
