Magellan’s site not only offers a wide variety of useful travel gear and clothing, it also includes several useful informational guides.
In some countries tipping is viewed as an insult, and in some countries the tip is automatically added to your restaurant bill. To be properly prepared, it’s best to consult a guide before you go. Here’s an excerpt from the Magellan’s guide:

I can confirm that for Germany those values are correct. When tipping a taxi driver you round up but I’d always give 1 Euro. Say fare is 18.70. I pay with a 20E bill. If he was nice and helped with the bags, he definitely doesn’t need to give change. On the other hand, I wouldn’t give a taxi driver in Germany 1E per bag that he put into the trunk. Often there is a surcharge anyway if you have more than one bag per person.
