Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? @MSalters: Having worked in a restaurant, I can't say I've ever heard of service charge (e.g. a tip that reaches the pockets of the wait(er/ess)) being included in each item. Either an additional item is added to the bill (Optional/ Compulsory Service Charge), or it's left entirely at the customers discretion. |

Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? Some restaurants add a service charge for large parties (> 6-8), and the very high end restaurants will normally also add a service charge. Some of the service charges you see added to the bill will be optional, but others will be compulsory (mainly from the high-end restaurants). |

Am I expected to tip wait staff in Europe? I strongly disagree that it's the rule of thumb that service charges are included in the bill. I live in England, and have been to France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany and Italy recently, and very rarely see a service charge included. |
