To tip or not to tip are social dilemmas we struggle with every day. You get that odd feeling when you don’t leave a tip, and when you decide to tip, you waver uncertainly over how much.

We are not alone in this, for there is no agreement on this around the world either. Tipping is a norm in some countries but not in others.
