    In Canada they just bring you the payment machine and it asks the percent you want to tip. There is a physical bill but its only used by the server to know what to enter really

      Same in most of the world. Sucks that these machines brought tipping to places it didn’t exist before. Used to be only shitty tourist trap restaurants asked for tips in Stockholm. Now all the machines do.

      Remember kids. Never tip, ever.

      That’s because everything needs a pin, if you pay cash this still works this way. USA only started using pins around covid time iirc and it’s still not universal.

        The PIN thing really confused me when I visited the US (right before Trump got in again). Like even the places that did support chip would just accept my payment without having me enter anything. First time I bought something I thought the machine glitched because I didn’t even realise a payment could be made without the PIN
