Meanwhile in Italy, you will pay typically €1 for an espresso and €1.50 for a cappuccino. No option to tip. And the drink is ready 10 seconds after the 30 seconds that it takes the machine to extract after you order. No latte art and no waiting 5 minutes after you order only to realize they completely forgot to start making your drink _after you've already tipped them_. Back here in the States you will pay more than $1 in tip alone on top of a $4.50 cappuccino.
