Tips and Chinese Culture In China, there is no tips except for some special advanced restaurants. But people must pay some tips for eating out in Euorpean-America countries.I know in America tips will usually show on the bills by extra money around 15 percent . In Germany, tips is flexible. One of my German teachers told us the percentage is 10% to 20%. One of my German friends said is about 5% to 10% based your favor. So usually I choose the percentage of 10% as tips. This evening I went to a chinese restaurant ,whose boss is my chinese friend. Payment was 28.3 Euro, because I have no small notes，so I gave 50 Euro ,then gave 5 Euro as tips when I got my changes. But the boss, my chinese friend thought I gave him the tips too much ,so refused to accept, then I tried to give the 5 Euro note again. So the 5 Euro note was back and forth between me and the boss. It's funny, but it is the chinese culture.I think , other german peoples in the restaurant couldn't understand that moment what was happen.
