I thought tip culture isn't really a thing in Europe?

When baristas are paid as little as €3/hr (post-crisis Greece), tips are a survival requisite.
Generally you tip 10-15% for a proper sit down meal, that's all.
Generally it differs from country to country, it’s intellectually lazy to say these things about Europe/Americans/Africa.
In Greece, you tip 1 or 2 euros. Maybe 5 if the bill is over 100 euros or something like that.
