Trinkgeld
It is not required in Slovakia to give a percentage as "tip" (a.k.a. "gratuity"
or "trinkgeld").
In restaurants, it is customary to let a waiter or waitress "keep the change" - a few coins - when paying. From student customers, for example, it is often expected that they will want even coins in return - but
from more solvent customers, this indicates that the service was not satisfactory.
When satisfied, round up to the nearest number. For example, when paying a 980 Sk bill, one might leave 1000 Sk. Of course, when very satisfied with really excellent service, one can give as large a sum as one wishes, and this will certainly be appreciated.
But be careful in offering to buy a drink for a waiter - not to mention a waitress!
