Tipping Like a European in America for 30 Days

A traveler spent 30 days in the United States tipping the way Europeans do, leaving smaller tips than American norms dictate, and reports saving $340 over the month. The experiment has struck a chord amid ongoing debate about escalating US tipping culture, with many feeling tipping expectations have crept too high and welcoming outside perspectives on the practice.
Why now: Americans are actively debating whether US tipping culture has gotten out of hand, making an outsider's account of tipping less resonate widely.
