What if i refuse to give a tip before the service happened? I get kicked out of the restaurant or do they spit on the food?
You have to be very firm and confident not to tip.
You are typically shoved a terminal in front of you with a question “how much would you like to tip” with options ranging from 18 to 20 to 22% and a miniature button of “No tip”.
I doubt people literally spit in your food, but they do make a drama out of it, getting visibly upset after “no tip” for serving me a freaking iced coffee in the Central Park.
Sounding European also helps as people generally expect Europeans to be greedy and not to tip.
