Couple arrested for refusing to pay 18% tip

Also remember: The "Gratuity added" note is usually on the menu, but at the bottom. Customers will either not see that, or see it and pretend they didn't. But even if you print it in BIG LETTERS at the top, many won't notice or will actively not notice. And they'll still claim it wasn't made clear enough.

When it comes to tipping, I'm always terribly confused.
In Asia, well, Japan anway, it's insulting to tip. You are telling them that they need to go back to school to learn how to cook/waiter/host better and you are offering them money to go do that.
In UK, tipping was acceptable, but generally not mandatory or expected.
In the US, tipping is expected, but then the % varies. I've been told anywhere from 10, 15, 20% of the bill/tab/cheque is the customary amount.
In Germany, tipping is generally not done as well, you usually just round the bill off to the nearest round Euro.

Exactly. Whenever someone mentions tipping, everyone automatically mentions about their area or country
