Lol try Belgium, where driving 20 minutes is a different dialect and 1-2 hours is a different language.

We have tipping in Europe, but that’s mostly only done if you have a very good experience, not because you are expected to. Just pay your employees.

In Belgium we have automatic wage indexation based on inflation of certain product. Some right wing parties want to get rid of it, but luckily it’s still here.
