In the United States, tipping is a customary gesture of gratitude for service received at restaurants. The customary tip ranges from 15% to 25%. This practice underscores the diner’s appreciation of the quality of service, irrespective of the meal time. While tipping at fast-food places isn’t expected, it’s a norm at dine-in restaurants. Far from being exceptions, celebrities often generously participate in this practice, sometimes even exceeding their bill amounts.
