It’s a US and Canada thing.

I’m 40ish and I gave a type twice in my life in France. Both were exceptional situations were I felt that the normal compensation was not enough and I felt bad for the worker.

And even then.. I might have been influenced in my reaction by a long period spend in the US.

In Britain (where I live) it's standard (I believe?) to leave a circa 10% tip at a restaurant. When I've travelled to Europe I've done the same (but haven't thought much about whether it was expected).

Restaurants are the place I'd associate most closely with tipping

Not necessarily only US and Canada.

Support for tipping is actually a much requested feature for the payment software of the company I'm working for, especially with customers from the restaurant business. I don't know though, which of the EU-countries we serve drive most of those requests. I suspect Germany, Austria and maybe Poland?
