- DarmokTanagra 22d agoIts crazy, every time I am in the US and a group needs to split a bill its a absurd debate over which third party payments provider to use. I've even had people refuse cash because they want me to "venmo" them or whatever stupid app they prefer.
- groestl 22d agoIsn't "split the bill" something that the restaurant does?
- chneu 22d agoYes but a lot of people just use apps. It's weird. Americans are super weird about dining procedures and expectations. Remember, we tip here. It's weird.
- ricardobayes 22d agoMost of Europe tips too, and increasingly there is a service charge too (at least in the UK it has become standard now).
- master-lincoln 22d agoAccording to this list it doesn't seem like most of Europe tips too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tipping_customs_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tipping_customs_by_cou...
- ricardobayes 21d agoIn your list it says 13 out of the 18 countries tipping is customary or expected. France and Spain are not among those, which tracks with my experience.
- edoceo 22d agoSometimes. In USA they may require one check for parties of >N (where N can be 6). Some (fancy) places won't split at all. Then consumers juggle apps to square up the deal.
