If some fucker tries to guilt me into tipping in Europe like this, they get "no tip", then a 1 star review on Maps and TripAdvisor explaining exactly why they spoiled my experience

In the US we obviously have had the problem of tipping for some time, but it was covid that sent everything completely off the rails. Once lockdown started, you starting tipping places even though you weren’t dining, and then even places where I wouldn’t have tipped before, if they asked for a tip I was usually giving a tip out of sympathy, and so on. And then lockdown ended but these things never went away. They came in under the radar at a time when nobody would protest the idea.
