So it's certainly possible. Whether it's advisable or not is another matter; I don't know whether Disneyland Paris is enough of its own thing vs. an intentional exporting of the "American experience" that it's appropriate.
This thread has never really been about "how to end tipping" as a place to complain about it; it's a practice worthy of complaint, and it's interesting, if a little silly, to see people try to defend it.
I'm the customer.. and whether conventional in a country or not.. I tip on credit card. If the space isn't there.. I don't tip, because I don't have cash on hand, or minimal cash on hand where I can't afford to tip and be out of cash for other trip purposes.
I can appreciate the customs in France, hence Disneyland Paris.. but with Disney, they've got a system setup and should be consistent around the world.. just like their Disney Park bags, and Mickey Mouse.. :-:
Get me a tip line on the cc slip so I can tip.. there are some restaurants in France who do this (i.e. an Italian restaurant by Versaille).. so simple.
