This works perfectly well in Australia, where tipping is entirely optional and not necessarily expected - however can still be done, if you feel like it.
In the advent of tap based payments especially - which is now ubiquitous in Australia - and you just tap your phone / card / device to the terminal which already shows the bill, I'd say tipping happens mainly in higher end restaurants.
There's certainly no lack of restaurants in Melbourne - with plenty of people enjoying the vast array of options for eating out. I for one am happy to not have to worry about tipping on everyday meals, however on special occasions I will add say 5-10% if particularly pleased with the service.
- Galaxeblaffer 10y agoThis ! This is exactly the same in Denmark. Tips are included in the price, but it is still custom to tip if the service is good and you can afford it usually around 5%.
- Svip 10y agoNo, tips are not included in the price. I think you are confusing tips with salary. And tips in Denmark seldom tends to have any relation to the price of the meal.
- Galaxeblaffer 10y agoYes.. tips are technically included in the price since the waiters union made an agreement with the employers union that waiters salaries should be covered fully by the employer. And yes tips often has a relation to the price of the meal that again often has a relation to the level of service.. If you are just out of school or still studying then it might be different for you which makes the system even better since you are not expected to even tip and therefore pay what you feel like.
