Its shit and i hate it. The hairdresser going full passive–aggressive next time, if you don't give them a tip.
Is Europe importing American tipping culture?
The way I learned about tips is that you should give them in restaurants, cafés and to food delivery people. But you just give a small tip, usually just rounding up. So when you order a coffee for 3,50€, you might just give 4€. If you eat at a restaurant and the bill is 37,20€, you give 40€. If it is a clean 10€, I might throw in another 1€. You get the idea. When I was in Scandinavia there was no tipping expected, afaik.
In America, people calculate the tip with percentages. They double the tax or calculate with 20%. Overall, I think they tip more.
Now recently I was with a friend who ordered food delivery for us from an app. Order and payment was all done in the app, including setting a tip. You could choose 5%, 10% or 15% with 10% selected as default.
What are your thoughts on this?
