...They can also get taken. Chizumi Otani, a Tokyo housewife whose U.S. visit was a 50th birthday present from her family, recently handed a $5 bill to her waitress in a San Francisco restaurant to pay for a $3.30 lunch. The waitress did not return with change, and the visitor was too polite to search her out and demand it. "I learned something-this tipping is a very confusing custom," Mrs. Otani concluded ruefully...

Last week a U.S. visitor to Paris trying to buy a box of candy with greenbacks was excitedly ushered to a nearby bank by the candy dealer, who insisted that the American exchange his dollars for francs before making the purchase-apparently out of genuine concern that the dollar's price in francs would drop by the minute. A G.I. stationed in West Germany moaned that he could not even accurately budget big outlays like his monthly rent, since the portion...
