To tip or not to tip
Apparently tipping is not customary. While some places have tipping jars/bowls, they don't expect much more than loose change. But if you're at a nice restaurant, apparently tipping is the norm. It's hard for us to differentiate between the two types of establishments. Even if we could, we always always always feel bad about not leaving anything. It almost seems rude! Even when there was hair in my food and we had to force the manager to acknowledge the issue and apologize, we tipped. :S

Some food for thought. In most places in Germany, tipping is not "acceptable" as the waiters and waitresses are on a full salary (not minimum wage) so they are pretty well off...

Tipping in europe is awesome all you have to do is round up or if they were good you only have to leave $1. Although i didnt find this out until the second time i was in europe... to think i could have saved 15% on all my meals the first time i went. But know i realize why every waiter was like "wow is this for me?"
Just remember, always tip if you get a "happy ending" ...
