I wish that was the case, I am starting to see it sneak in more and more over there as well. It’s even more awkward, as they will pre-add a 10-15% tip and then you have to ask for it to be removed. Can’t we just pay people a living wage and end tipping all together? Yes, at least in the US a whole lot of restaurants will fail, but they should. Businesses that can’t pay people what they deserve need to go the way of the dodo.
I was just in Paris and Amsterdam and no tipping needed. You could, but it definitely wasn’t forced like it is here. Servers would often remind us it wasn’t required.
There is a no tipping culture in Europe.

I agree, let them fail. How many Italian, Mexican, American slop houses do we need all selling sodexho garbage shit food
There is a tipping culture, there’s just no tipping for the bare minimum service of taking an order and bringing the ordered food to the table.

Yeah, it’s for exceptional service, most service isn’t exceptional.
