I've lived in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. I can testify that I personally observed no tipping culture here whatsoever.
- pvitz 10y agoIn general, there is a north-south divide, but I guess it also depends on your milieu.
- Insanity 10y agoBelgian here - I do tip but as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it's not part of our culture. And I leave mostly small tips, nothing comparable to the US.
- TheArcane 10y agoI once paid a tenner with €5 due and left in a Belgian bistro. I was followed and forced to take back my €5 as they didn't consider tipping appropriate.
- Insanity 10y agoNever had that happen to me - but what I did encounter is that it is explicitely stated that tipping is not necessary and that the service is counted for in the bill. But those are unique instances I believe :-)
- vanderreeah 10y agoNonsense, tipping happens all the time in Germany.
