alt Hacker NewsI also live in Europe and tip, specially if I know that the salary of the staff heavily depends on tips. Also, if the service wasn’t great, I also tip, maybe they weren’t having a good day, like when I’m not that productive some day at my coding job.
If I ever find the system too unfair for the workers, then I won’t go to those restaurants anymore.

Then give your excess money to a homeless person or donate it to Amnesty. We don't want or need the "pressured to tip" culture here.

Sounds like you only tip once at each restaurant then? Not paying a reasonable salary to employees and assuming they'll beg customers for extra money to make up the difference seems unfair to me.
