If some fucker tries to guilt me into tipping in Europe like this, they get "no tip", then a 1 star review on Maps and TripAdvisor explaining exactly why they spoiled my experience

In the US we obviously have had the problem of tipping for some time, but it was covid that sent everything completely off the rails. Once lockdown started, you starting tipping places even though you weren’t dining, and then even places where I wouldn’t have tipped before, if they asked for a tip I was usually giving a tip out of sympathy, and so on. And then lockdown ended but these things never went away. They came in under the radar at a time when nobody would protest the idea.
There's no reason why we can't start doing that in the US too, and yet I never thought of doing that until your comment
If there's a tip screen between me and my payment I don't pay. Fuck em. Supermarket self serve tried to fuck around and find out once with those requests for donations so that the company making billions in profit can get some more pr off your dime, groceries were cheap that week.
I bet this sounded so cool in your head
It's not about being cool, it's about self respect. Keep licking that boot.
