Foreign media has specially created an interactive tipping map where you can simply click on a country to find out how tipping works there.

The U.S. is known for its 10%–20% restaurant tipping, which can be off-putting, but other countries that expect tips include Cuba, Turkey, and Poland, with tips ranging from 10% to 15%. In the UK, it's usually around 10%, while many European countries suggest simply rounding up your bill if you're satisfied with the service.
