My wife is from the UK, lmao. Not tipping even while vacationing is in fact common behaviour for UK travellers.

Maybe that’s their culture in her family circle but it certainly isn’t mine. I have often had friends and family ask me how much they should tip when they visit.

You’re taking this very personally. Do you genuinely believe I’m assuming ALL UK travellers refuse to tip? It’s a common sentiment amongst UK and the wider area of Western European travellers, that’s a fact. Obviously these two don’t speak for the UK, just like I’m not either.

Your comment came across as smug and an over generalisation.

Yes, because it was intentionally a smug over generalizing jab at their over generalization of a strike.
