A cold beer at the neighborhood bar. For many, this is part of the beginning of the holiday to make the first contact with the local culture. But what do you drink on site and how much tip is appropriate? According to Düden, a tip is a (smaller) amount of money given to someone (beyond a price to pay) for a service rendered. However, the scope of this amount is not regulated in the statement.
