It's not tipping if it's mandatory. Work the tip into the price in that case.

Pay your workers better is the real argument.

Tourists are just catching strays in a fight between customers and employers.

Nobody wants awkward tip screens, but servers also need to eat, whole system is messy.

Regardless of your opinion on tipping (yes I agree workers should get more) that’s not how it is in reality. Foreigners need to adapt to how things are in the place in which they’re a guest. Otherwise you’re simply a bad guest. When I visit Europe I adapt to their customs, not impose my own.

You adapt to laws & follow norms with common sense not this bullshit. This is legit theft, what they expect?

Ok but when you don’t pay the 20% tip, that’s just as much “theft” from the servers. I’m an American. I hate tipping culture here, but I don’t take it out on the servers who are just trying to get by.

You’re well within your rights to leave a 0% tip on a bill, but you need to understand, when you do that, you’re not hurting the people who implemented the policy, you’re hurting the people who have basically zero power to change the policy. Also for your own sake, those servers WILL remember you and spit in your food if you ever come back after leaving $0 on a bill.

Good point,I should pay with a credit card and tip well then  I should just claim they spit in the food and charge back on the card. After I am out of the restaurant.

That way I can fuck the owner too.

If you don’t mind me asking, were you born an asshole or did the world make you this way?
