Do you tip in Europe? If so, how much?

In France, service is included in the bill, you leave change if you want (a couple euros).

tipping is not ridiculous here. Why would you say that?

Because you have to tip almost everywhere! I feel like everywhere I go there is either a tip jar or options to add a certain percentage when they ring you up with an iPad. I really hate it, I end up tipping out of guilt, and when I select "no tip" I feel like I did something awful ( I'm not talking about sit down restaurants, but casual, take out places and coffee shops)

Then you are expected to tip for so many other services that you are already paying for: room service, parking attendants, any beauty and spa services etc. I do tip, and I tip well, but I'm still annoyed at how many services now expect a tip.

Just because there is a tip jar, does not mean you must tip. Those employees are pad at LEAST minimum wage. Waiters are not. I am not saying you shouldn't use the tip jar--but it is not a must.

American in London here. If there's no service charge automatically added I'll tip £5-10 when dining out with a server. In pubs, though, you order and pay at the bar for each round and everyone has contactless cards or uses Apple Pay.

I'll usually tip a delivery person a pound or two....and they always look surprised when I do.

I don't tip for anything else and I love it!

Agree with American in London (Brit in DC).
Usually tip 10%ish on meals, round up by £ or so for black cabs, don't tip for anything else.

Places like Spain, France - not expected at all. I usually round up / leave the change.

By round up, do you mean round up from the change to the whole dollar or round up like to denominations of 5?

or euro, not dollar...
