Tipping etiquette rules

1. Tipping is a thank you, not an obligation.

Tipping is not mandatory in Russia, but it is a good way to express gratitude for quality service.

2. Count tips from amount to discount

If you were given a discount or a promotional code was used, it is more correct to count the tip from the full cost - after all, the waiter worked the same way.

3. Cash is preferred

4. Tipping abroad

5. When tipping is not appropriate
