Hi all!
I've been asked a number of times about the customs regarding tipping in Germany. While the "round-up" of a bill at a bar or restaurant is fairly commonly known, I had to ask a friend about tipping taxi drivers and bellhops. He was kind enough to send me a link to an article in BILD that was full of all kinds of info. The article is in German.
