If they wave raise, your finger to the right of the index as a sign of respect.
You pay for your food as it arrives at the table. If they don't ask. It's compliant are.
People stand and chat at the bottom of the runs. In Europe you may see this as queueing, they are not.

i always tip and they always seem happy about it.it doesn't matter how much, but the more i tip the happier they seem to be. i normally round it up so i dont get left with any change that i dont know what to do with anyway. steve.g

re: Bulgarian ways

We always tip, they don't necessarily expect it ( unlike USA) but if service is good it's got to be 10% on top of bill. A smile goes a long way though. Remember, they get paid so little in comparison to us that a tip means an awful lot!

re: Bulgarian ways

I always like to leave a tip, somewhere between 5 & 10% depending on service & friendlyness + banter. Some of these guys go the extra mile to make u smile and deserve a decent tip! If you are walking away feeling happy make sure the guys serving you are happy too! Razz N

re: Bulgarian ways

Remember in Bulgaria, to nod your head means no and to shake your head means yes.

So no drinking....... all that nodding and shaking.....your head will fall off! (or it will feel like it!)
