That’s because they actually pay a living wage to servers in Europe. It is not normal for them at all. They also wouldn’t expect you to tip while in Europe.
The funny part of this is when they don’t give a gratuity that they’re the bad guys rather than the restaurant that doesn’t pay a living wage and the government that doesn’t require it.

@Benjr134 My experience was different, but I paid in Italian lire, Austrian schillings, drachmes, guilders, forints, Yugoslav dinars...

@Benjr134 I don't think tips are for normal service. And the idea of forever upping the percentage is crazy.
