Yeah, STAY HOME!!

Service workers in this country depend on tips as a major part of their income. Their base salary is often quite low. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out, stay in hotels, etc. Your country is different. Bully for you. When I go to Europe, they set the rules and I either play by them or have a less happy experience.

You are entitled to nothing.
