In britischen Cafés und Pubs wird kein Trinkgeld gegeben, in Restaurants nur, wenn die Bedienung nicht im Preis inbegriffen ist; auch Taxifahrer und Friseure bekommen etwas. In den USA erhalten Kellner wenig Stundenlohn, deshalb ist ein Trinkgeld von 15-20 Prozent üblich; Barkeeper, Hotelpersonal, Taxifahrer und Friseure erwarten 15 Prozent.

Schützenfest

Many rural communities still hold annual shooting festivals organized by the local rifle clubs, which play an important part in local life. The festivals last several days and feature processions, brass bands and fairground attractions. There are also various shooting competitions, the winner of which is crowned Schützenkönig (king of the shooting festival).
