In Europe tipping is at free will and usually done when the service and products were good, we will never give up to 25% tip, we’ll just give a couple of euros
Where? like we dont tip at all so im genuinely surprised. But lots of restaurants and other places for that matter in Prague have different policies for locals and foreigners. Lots of turist traps etc. But still I'm surprised that someone forced u to tip in czech
Tipping is not mandatory in Portugal either, but in the last couple of years some restaurants have started dipping their toes in at trying to make it a thing....it's a trap for tourists basically.
To be clear, I wasn’t forced to tip. I was just directly told that the bill didn’t include a tip and I can add one. It was done in a pushy and rude way though.
I avoid tourist trap restaurants when traveling but I do believe I was targeted as a solo female American traveler. Unfortunately, Americans often take our tipping culture on the road and people have begun to expect that from us.
Already had it happen in Prague more than 10 years ago. Rude waiter reading out the line "tip is not included" (in English) on the bill while pointing at it with his pen. He didn't get one.
