Tipping in Qatar

Discussion

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:

  1. WOQOD washers (initial wash)
    People: sometimes
    Suggested: optional 5 QR

  2. WOQOD cleaners (final drying/cleaning)
    People: more common
    Suggested: 5 QR if they do a good job

  3. Barbers
    People: yes
    Suggested: 5–10 QR (but not every time)

  4. Delivery drivers (daily orders)
    People: sometimes
    Suggested: 5 QR (max 10, not every order)

  5. Restaurant servers (normal)
    People: rare
    Suggested: optional (0–5 QR)

  6. Mid-range restaurants
    People: sometimes
    Suggested: 5–10 QR

  7. Fancy restaurants
    People: yes (depending if service charge included)
    Suggested: up to ~10%

  8. Uber drivers
    People: rare
    Suggested: optional (0–5 QR)

Curious what you guys think?

Also Do you tip daily services or just occasionally?
