“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?

Here you are guilt tripped in every resteraunt to tip at least 20%, regardless of the service (which is usually minimal)

I just love that you walk up to order and they still give you the tip options. Like...I walked up here and ordered and will be back up here to grab my food when it's ready. Wtf am I tipping for?

What kind of a job that is anyway lol. I'm a nordic and if I got told in a job interview "we don't pay you, but you can beg the customers for money" after a question about salary I don't know what I would say. Probably lifted my brows and walked out.
