    Yup!

    Also: taxis, food deliveries, hotel housekeeping services, concierge and luggage services, spa/hair/massage and probably others I’m forgetting.

    I would also note that if you see a “tip jar” then typically tipping is not “expected” but more of a reward for excellent service as you might normally think of tipping.

    Yes you need to tip if you are at a sit-down restaurant with a server taking your order at the table.

    Whether or not you or anyone else agrees with that, it is the cultural norm and you would absolutely be rude not to.

    If you are uncomfortable with this, choose to eat somewhere where you won’t be expected to tip. Don’t knowingly go to a restaurant where tipping is expected and then refuse to do so out of principle.
