| Here in Shanghai, I only tip at bars that have a mix of expats and Chinese. And only if I am planning on returning or if it is crowded. This ensures that I get excellent service that evening or whenever I return. The staff don't expect it from many, but truly do appreciate it when they receive it. And it is generally only 10%, as opposed to a minimum of 15% or $1.00 per drink at a bar in the US. |
