Excessive American tipping culture has come to London and it is awful
My friend Robin has never been prone to timidity. If, in a restaurant, he feels he isn’t being taken care of, he never shies away from a confrontation. “Is service included?” he’ll ask a waiter, rhetorically, already knowing the answer.

Some grim experiences here. Businesses should just pay their staff a living wage.
Any restaurant that shares tips is usually shit anyway.
