Tipping in Qatar
I think I’ve been over-tipping in Qatar But recently I started noticing it adds up fast, especially with daily stuff like Talabat. so I did some research and came up with this:
-
WOQOD washers (initial wash)
People: sometimes
Suggested: optional 5 QR -
WOQOD cleaners (final drying/cleaning)
People: more common
Suggested: 5 QR if they do a good job -
Barbers
People: yes
Suggested: 5–10 QR (but not every time) -
Delivery drivers (daily orders)
People: sometimes
Suggested: 5 QR (max 10, not every order) -
Restaurant servers (normal)
People: rare
Suggested: optional (0–5 QR) -
Mid-range restaurants
People: sometimes
Suggested: 5–10 QR -
Fancy restaurants
People: yes (depending if service charge included)
Suggested: up to ~10% -
Uber drivers
People: rare
Suggested: optional (0–5 QR)
Curious what you guys think?
Also Do you tip daily services or just occasionally?
