most tipping is up to you.ie good service drinks meal.its around 10% of bill. normanlly.if taxi driver picks your bags up stay.and takes them out. (airport)worth a small tip.say a euro at least.(buys him a small beer)taxi to other places is up to you.
like in bars if bill say comes to 9.45.give them 10 and tell them to keep change.tipping is not really a must.but one of those european custom.

i also tip most of the time.
but i've learnt it's rude to leave your small coins like 1's, 2's, 5's!
...its an easy way of getting rid of the 2's, 5's and ten's

no matter where you are, it's pretty not nice to give a waiter or a waitress this small stuff... either tip properly, or don't. the worst are the ones, being in a foreign country and not adapting to the tipping customs, even though it is a cultural element! For me, personally, if I'm in foreign country, I always tip between 5 and 10%. 10% is always safe, as it is American and so, pretty international. But watch out in Asian countrys: if you tip too much, it is like an offense for them...
And by the way, I've learnt in Spain, that it is not at all popular to pay seperately... Even though the waiterEss would earn more through second... 8)
That's shocking, i hate people like that who are downright rude, as if beer isn't expensive enough as it is in Ibiza (although €7 is about the cheapest ive heard yet for a club there)
We didn't tip at that BBQ kind of place next to Jet Apartments in PDB today. The waitress was a miserable git right from the start and my roast chicken was not hot. The same waitress was the same with other customers when she was at other tables too. We were very dissapointed because we have eaten there before and were always pleased with the service and the food in the past.

Like everywhere you go, if the service is efficient and friendly, then tip well. If it is sour and surly leave nothing. Leaving a few cents is an insult that only the Spanish can get away with.
If I think service is worth a tip then I leave one. I think it would be very rude for anyone to automatically think that your change is their tip, that would make me not want to tip.
I have worked in bars in Newcastle on and off for about 6/7 years and would never even think about asking if I was getting a tip - or complain about the amount. No matter whether it is 5/10p or £2/3 it is still a tip and that little extra cash.
