Tipping

It is customary to tip at least 15% at restaurants; 18%–20% in resort towns is increasingly the norm. For coat checks and bellhops, $1 per coat or bag is the minimum. Taxi drivers expect 15% to 20%, depending on where you are. In resort towns, ski technicians, sandwich makers, baristas, and the like also appreciate tips. For ski instructors, a 10%–15% tip is standard.
