I was in Europe last year and almost no Europeans tip. Or if they do, it is usually a euro or two.

That is because the tip is included in the price of the meal. The same with sales tax. If you go to a restaurant in Europe the price on the menu is the price of your meal. No 23% surcharge (15% tip plus 8% sales tax).

If Europe can do it, why can’t the USA?
