Reply to comment by BingBong022 in If you can't afford to tip decently, then you shouldn't be eating out. Thoughts? by WeShineUnderOneSun

In Europe servers and bartenders make a “living wage” the same way $15 an hour is a “living wage” here. They usually do have sweet government mandated benefits though.

It’s now standard to tip 10% - 15% in restaurants in Europe.
