Yep, there isn’t that culture here. Which is why when people do that, they’re noticed and likely to get better service. However, the UK government seemed to think barstaff got loads of tips, to the extent our tax codes were altered so we paid tax on lower earnings than everyone else. We’d have to write to the local tax office with evidence from our employer that they didn’t permit tips that we weren’t getting anyways to get our tax codes changed back.
That said, tipping culture is growing here.
