The Czech Republic does. Don’t know how common it is in other European countries.
Germany does. I tipped 15% my first time at a german restaurant (because waitresses there have the same minimum wage as any other worker and the reason I tip 20% in the US is because they only make $2/hr here) and the waitress literally asked me if she did something wrong.
Probably because you tipped more than expected. Tips in Germany are usually 5–10 % and not mandatory. Traditionally the bill was rounded to the next whole number, and the tip was the difference.
That’s one of the things I hated when I visited Norway. I didn’t expect to see that in a European country.
US made software rules the world.
If I’m not being waited on, don’t look at me to provide you the rest of your wage. Look to your employer.
Then don’t go to businesses that don’t pay their employees a fair wage. Don’t just handwave it away while contributing to the problem.
What’s your solution to knowing which businesses pay their employees a fair wage? How do I know where to shop? Is there a website which catalogs this information?
Ask the employees whether they feel that they’re being treated well and paid correctly?
They can’t exactly answer that honestly.
Why not? No freedom of speech in the USA?
Of course, it is common sense when entering an establishment for the first time to do a business model analysis to see if the employees are getting shafted.
