Coming to Kasur, the city of aromatic biryanis and mouthwatering kebabs, chances are you're going to be dining at quite a few restaurants. When it comes to tipping at restaurants, it's not obligatory, but it leaves a good impression. It's also a great way to express appreciation for good service. Typically, leaving a tip of about 10% of your total bill is considered decent, but if service really knocked your socks off, feel free to extend it to 15%.

Coffee culture is brewing fervently in Kasur. Whether you’ve stumbled into a quaint little spot for an afternoon caffeine fix, or you’re lounging around in one of the city’s trendy, modern coffee houses, tipping is at your discretion. People generally leave around PKR 20-50 per person, but again, there's no hard rule. Tipping is simply saying, 'Hey, I enjoyed my stay here, thank you.'

How much to tip at bars

While we're not drowning in dive bars here in Kasur, we do have a good mix of juice bars, tea stalls, and smoothie spots. At these places, small change or rounding up to the nearest 50 or 100 rupees is usually appreciated. Just remember, it's not about the amount—it's about the gesture.

How much to tip in a taxi

Pressed for time and hopping in a taxi in Kasur? Unlike many other cities, tipping isn't customary. However, it is fairly common to round up the fare to the nearest 10. Our taxi drivers often go out of their way to ensure you get to your destination safely, so that little bit extra can be a sweet way of saying thanks.

Should you tip with card or cash

While we're on the topic of tipping, you might be wondering whether cash or card is best for the tip in Kasur. While we're pretty digitalized, cash tips are normally preferred here, as they go directly to the recipient, ensuring your appreciation ends up in the right hands. That said, if your pockets are jingling with only plastic, don't fret—you can always add the tip to your card payment.

And there you have it, folks—a crash course in Kasur's tipping etiquette! Remember, these amounts are just guidelines. In the end, tipping is all about expressing your gratitude. So whether you leave a small fortune or just a few coins, keep tipping Kasur-style—straight from the heart!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
