Tips for the Business Visitor Coming to Krakow

Tip the hotel staff as you use to do it in your own country.

Tips are not included in your Krakow restaurant checks, so when satisfied with the service you are welcome to express it either by leaving some cash on the table or by rounding up the bill.

Besides waiters also hairdressers, manicurists, and their likes expect to be tipped, but hardly anyone else.

Taxi-driver will anticipate your gratitude in cash for some really special favor (e.g. carrying you upstairs in his arms).

The above applies to other foot soldiers of the service sector.

Small gifts such as confectionery or flowers are regular currency in trading petty favors, while a bottle of brandy or perfumes prove substantial thankfulness.

Holiday “gifts” to mailmen, garbage men, janitors, etc. are still unheard-of in Poland.

Yet employers customarily reward regular employees with a bonus before Christmas.
