Lately I’ve been at some finer diners in my country, and the payment terminals now have an option if you want to tip.
I’ve made it a rule never to tip. Even if the service was magnificent.
Out of all the things I don’t want my country adopting from the US, the tipping must be somewhere in the top.
I assume that’s to account for how many people are cashless now rather than making it mandatory. I personally haven’t handled anything more than a few coins in years. Can’t remember the last time I saw a bank note.
I love that vast majority of Europeans don’t tip. At least the ones thinking rationally.
Here in the Netherlands, we only tip for fancy restaurants, if the service was good.
In the UK, it’s always been a reward for above average food or service. Not a something you leave everytime to make up for short wages.
I’ve been in the UK for the past week (first time). No tips, not even an option to tip.
Tip if your enjoyed the service. That’s about it. Not to subsidise shitty employment laws.
