NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The practice of tipping in the US can be unfamiliar to international visitors, as many countries have a more straightforward pricing system where service charges are either included or not expected. The custom of adding a gratuity, typically ranging from 15% to 20% of the total bill, is deeply ingrained in American culture, but can be confusing for those not accustomed to it. This cultural difference may contribute to the frustration experienced by World Cup fans from other countries.
