As a European living in North America for work, I will die on this hill:

**If a tip is mandatory, it is an additional fee, not a tip.**

Just add the mandatory tip percentage onto the price. And hey why add the tax on there too for good measure?

A tip is a little extra (like a few coins you have in your pocket, not 15 damn percent or more!!) that you *choose* to pay as a form of gratitude for the person serving doing more than you expected.

'Land of the Free'? More like 'Land of the Hidden Fee'

But hey, general living is a lot cheaper here and wages are higher so there's that I guess.

Say it again more my fellow Americans! Please immigrate more of your kind here. The tipping shit has got to go
