"Paying with a credit card" Budapest Local Custom Tip by alex0312

Budapest Local Customs: 241 reviews and 279 photos

I am not sure if this applies to every restaurant, but unlike U.S. where you pay with a credit card and then when the waiter/waitress brings back the check you include the tip and write the total on the receipt, in Budapest when you get the check, you have to include the tip before waiter/waitress takes your credit card and process it. I did not know that and it was pretty embarrassing. Fortunately I had enough money with me to give the waitress a tip.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
