      I was literally in Bergerac a few weeks ago, and a tip of 5-15% was expected practically anywhere I ate - and that’s not exactly a bustling metropolis…

      I worry that Lemmy fetishises Europe a bit too much as some bastion of freedom, great pay, or amazing rights.

        Well, compared to the US, Europe indeed is a bastion of freedom, great pay, amazing rights, and no least, sanity. I’ve lived for many years in both.

        I’ve also never experienced tipping in Europe. You have. I guess we’ve had different experiences.
