Tipping
Context
Tipping is not always expected in the UK in the way it is in the United States or Canada. All staff in the UK, must by law, be paid at least the National Minimum Wage (£6.50/hr (2014 rate, lower rate applies to those under 21 years of age) whether they receive tips or not. An employer is not allowed to use tips to top up wages to the legal minimum. Therefore, unlike in much of North America, the need and culture for tipping is much less.
However, due to the increased cost of living in recent years, the National Minimum Wage is now well below the average living wage for most of the country - and the vast majority of hospitality staff rely on tips to make up the difference. A 10% tip is expected under most circumstances, which can rise to 15% or 20% for exceptional service.
