Tipping in central europe work fundamentally different compared to the US. I never do the math 'what are roughl 10 percent' instead round up to a meaningful amount. It is certainly less than 10%. If you don't tip its because you were not satisfied with the service. Sure, recipients expect it and will look at you in dismay if you don't. In countries like Italy or spain it's not common at all. I tip more of late as unfortunately the US habit of earning less than being able to make a living became the rule and so service personell is dependent on the extra cash.
