Millions of international visitors are attending the FIFA World Cup in the United States, experiencing American cuisine for the first time. Many are unfamiliar with the US custom of tipping service staff. To ensure waiters receive gratuity, numerous restaurants in host cities are automatically adding a 20% service charge to bills. This practice aims to address potential misunderstandings regarding tipping etiquette among international fans. The addition of automatic gratuity is intended to simplify the payment process and guarantee fair compensation for service workers. Organizers hope this will enhance the overall experience for visitors unfamiliar with the practice. The move reflects a broader awareness of cultural differences in dining expectations.
