Tom…I agree. Tipping has become overly complicated in the US to me and that’s what make Europe so appealing. Tap your credit card and walk away. I know of places paying $15/hour now plus then a 20% tip so how does that line up hourly with the skilled workforce (university educated or the trades). I guess I don’t typically appreciate their service more than an employer paying them a livable wage (i.e., why I love the pourboire concept).
