[quote=Anonymous]The reason tipping exists in the US is because servers are allowed to make below the minimum wage and servers make below the minimum wage because they're expected to receive tips to make up the difference. It's a stupid anomaly that should go away. In Europe servers do not make below minimum wage. There are variations from country to country but it's quite different from the US. Some countries will automatically add a service charge to your bill. There is no need to tip anything like 20% in Europe. Most countries, rounding up a few euros is fine. In London and at high end restaurants 10% is fine but most British won't tip at everyday places or more than few pounds. If you want to tip 20% because you feel guilty, go ahead but the other European posters are right, you're also doing a disservice.[/quote]
