For a practice that’s roughly traced to the 17th century, tipping remains a surprisingly confusing practice in modern-day America.

Then there’s the pandemic and its impact on hospitality, which made the process even more complicated.

If you can, stock up on small bills before your trip. “Tip them in the beginning and they’ll always look after you,” Pundole says. “The more you look after them, the more they look after you.”A hotel manager tends to be a salaried employee who doesn’t require a tip. A clue for who to tip and who to skip is to look at how the hotel employee is dressed.
