In Austria often times they expect it because of “good behaviour”. Its not a fix percentage but more pocket chance.
Still they are getting a full salary at the end of the month
That was a big change for me coming there from the Netherlands. Tipping is a bigger thing here, but salaries are also better and waiters seem to get some level of respect as well.
Scotland is a goner, last time I was there all the card terminals had it. Asked a waitress if she would get the tip if I have one and she flushed, mumbled something, looked at the boss and sheepishly said it gets shared. I bet none of the staff sees any of it.
I mean I’m not sure what you can do other than name and shame the restaurant, and/or boycott it
I’m against tipping culture so um not endorsing this but… you could give her a 5 dollars/ euros/ sheckles note and thank her for what she did to deserve that?
Keep this garbage out of europe please. i see it popping up. I will absolutely refuse to tip a single goddamn soul at this point going forward.

Which is illegal! If you tip a waiter/waitress then the money must go to them: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/all-tips-to-go-to-staff-under-government-plans-to-enhance-rights-of-2-million-workers

You picked THREE currencies and not one of them is used in Scotland.
Pints of Guinness? /s
Edit one of those three might not be that far away
Guinness is Irish.
Scottish people are the ones who wear a beret, carry a baguette everywhere on their bicycle and say “mais oui oui”
