Don’t leave 20% on the table—it can actually cause confusion. The server might think you made a mistake! Stick to rounding up or leaving a few dollars for great service, and you’re golden.
And please, please don’t stress about it. You won’t offend anyone by not tipping. But you will make someone’s day by choosing to tip when you feel the magic of great service.

The Real Win: You Get to Be the Fun Traveler
Picture this: you’re at a waterfront bar in Sydney. The bartender is pouring perfect pints and chatting about the best surf spots. You slide a five-dollar note across the counter with a wink. That’s not a transaction; that’s a connection.
You become the traveler who gets it. The one who respects local culture while adding a little sparkle. And honestly? That’s way more fun than nervously calculating a 15% tip under the table.
