Tiping is not nearly as common in Poland as in the United States. But it's not to suggest that we're totally unkind! See the list of recommendations below for tipping.

Tipping is certainly one of the world's most confounding customs. In the US, gratuities are an absolute necessity and can be included in the bill in other countries or "not needed but intended." There are no difficult and easy laws in Poland on tipping – it's a matter of personal taste for many consumers. Though the practise is very popular in grocery stores and hotels, many Poles feel that tips can only be reserved for outstanding services. Take note of these points to prevent misunderstanding when giving advice (in Polish: dać napiwek):

1. It's key to time. Notice that when the cash is handed over to the waiter, saying "thank you" /"dziękuję," you want it to keep up with the change.
2. Freewill is voluntary. Freewill. Service pricing tips are seldom used.
   And if the bill is paid by card, most clients leave the tip in cash on the table.
3. It is usually only a few zlotys to complete the bill. If you pay PLN 36.79, for example, render PLN 40.
4. The typical tips range from 5% to 10% of the bill size in the percentage way.
5. Tip jars are popular in Poland in bars and cafes. A few replacement coins are still welcomed for you.
6. In addition to waiters, bartenders, carriers and couriers or cab drivers are not uncommon to tip. Small changes (e.g., PLN 2) can occur for attendants at the cloakroom, especially in places like theatres or concert halls, where the service is free.
