Why Americans do not like Russians: the opinion of our immigrant
«Недавно прочитал о том, что, оказывается, русские туристы, которые останавливаются в отелях и посещают рестораны в США, в основном не оставляют чаевые», — пишет автор блога «Александр Сафарян» на «Яндекс.Дзен».

In the US, this is considered bad manners and an insult. You seem to be saying that you did not like the service, the cuisine and the institution at all. So it turns out that the Americans are building a not very good opinion about such clients.
But judge for yourself, on the other hand, in the USA it is customary to tip 10-30% of the check, usually the amount for a tip is $10-25. Not only is it not customary to leave “for tea” in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia and other CIS countries, but also when translated into local currency, the amount is quite significant.
With this money you can live for several days, and if you try, even a week. So, it turns out that Russian-speaking immigrants cannot leave tips either physically or psychologically.

But this does not apply to immigrants from the CIS who already live in the US, they are used to local "laws" and usually leave "tea". When Ksyusha and I go to places, we always leave a tip, otherwise a terrible feeling in our hearts will not leave us. I also leave tea when I get my hair cut and for the valet when he parks the car.
Совет всем русскоговорящим туристам — если $15-25 много для вас, оставляйте хотя бы $2-3. От этого вы не обеднеете, но зато обслуживающему вас человеку будет приятно. Так, я надеюсь, постепенно измениться мнение о русских. Ведь вопрос даже не в сумме, а во внимании.
