Tipping

Propinas (tips) range 10%-15% in bars and restaurants (10% is enough in a casual cafe or if the bill runs high). Note that some restaurants charge a cubierto, covering table service, not waiter's tip. Argentines round off a taxi fare, though some cabbies who frequent hotels popular with tourists seem to expect nmore. Hotel porters should be tipped at least 3 pesos. Also give doormen and ushers about 3 pesos. Beauty and barber shop personnel generally get around 10%.
