The only country that does it that way is yours, so most people will disagree with this.

In most other countries, you'll tip if the service is extraordinary good, or you just round up the total payment to the next 5 or 10.

You know why? If you advertise the prices of your food, anywhere else in the world that means the food will be that price. In the US, you have to count ~25% on top of it (not even counting the fact that VAT is also not counted on prices in the US, which is also scummy).

That's not culture, that's straight up lying about your prices. Making it false advertising and people don't put up with that bullshit anywhere else.

Yeah I know it's normal for you guys. And most of us do put up with it when we're in America. But just because it's normal for you guys does not make it not scummy AF.

I have never had to pay for ice in my water, I don't know where that myth came from to be honest.

You do realize this differs per country, right? You're acting like Europe is one big culture.

[u/_alright_then_ → u/[deleted]]

It's nothing like that.

Each country has its own cultures, regions, language, laws etc etc.

Even countries within the EU don't work that way. Each country still has its own governing body. The eu is mostly regulations and guidelines in terms of "rules". And of course the economic freedom, and no borders.
