I swear I read somewhere that there are parts of Europe were tipping isn’t required, but if you want extra good service you’ll tip before being served if you want good attentive service.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, I can’t remember where I read it.
Can only speak for Germany: Tips are kind of expected in sit-down restaurants with wait staff. Not tipping sends the message that you were unsatisfied with the service, and can lead to a second of silence before you’re handed your change and receipt. A 10% tip will have the waiter thanking you enthusiastically, and the normal range is somewhere in between (round up to the nearest sensible round amount).
Where??? I always tip 20% in a restaurant when I have a server. (I don’t usually tip at counter service places because no one is serving me and staff make a higher base wage).

US customary tips are now 22%
I refuse. 18-20% is for outstanding service, not normal service. Personally, I would rather see tipping go away
