Answer 1

Most of them don't, because this is a phenomenon that occurs in the U.S. In my experience most waiters, bartenders, etc. don't like dealing with people from other countries (especially Europe) because they don't understand how important tipping is to those that make their living this way. That being said, a direct translation may be: "una caja de propinas".

Cajas de propinas are common enough in the Latin American countries I'm familiar with. - Gekkosan, Jan 26, 2012

Thank you, just as I thought. There's no specific word for it. Nothing in the dictionaries! - lasacre, Jan 27, 2012

Answer 2

Pescador1's answer is good - also, caja de propinas or caja para propinas is sometimes used.
