One of the the biggest problems we had in our 2013 visit to the USA was getting used to tipping. Apart from restaurants and possibly taxis, tipping is uncommon in Australia. There were a couple of embarrassing moments on the first couple of days in the USA when we simply forgot that tipping was expected for almost any service.
