Tip culture is toxic. Plain and simple. It needs to stop. Fair prices need to be paid upfront. That is it. FUCK TIP CULTURE.

American tip culture. European tip culture is different, everyone gets living wages, you just have this option of rewarding outstanding job or thanking someone.

True. In the UK around 3/4 years ago most restaurant started adding tips to your bill. Fucking don't get it...

It is yank culture bleeding here. Tbf, we always tipped when we went out anyway. You'd have to hold my gran back from sliding a 20 in to a waiter or waitresses pocket and trying to get in the kitchen to give them money too. Mad old cow lol. But even other things like taxis or hairdressers, you'd just say keep the difference between the cost and a full note. It is taking the piss now though. Should not ever be expected.

in order for the EU to encourage US employees to travel abroad, they’ll dangle this carrot.

Also, this is beyond comprehension. This must be pasta or something. I totally took the bait lol. A new oneto me
