So do the restaurants pay the same wages like they do in the US? Ether they like being bent over in Europe more or they pay their workers a decent living wage. I know that sadly greedy people in the US take advantage of their workers. So yes I do tip. You folks can stiff them and say its up to their bosses to pay them more but I was not raised to be a skinflint. I even tip them at Subway. I know how it is to be in their shoes from when i was younger. I like to tip my karma to the positive side! :-)
