Canadians expect 20% tips. I’m sure others do as well.

In The Netherlands, service is included in the price. tipping is voluntary and not expected. If service was great, a 5-10% is generally the way. However, we have US-based chains like Starbucks that do or try aggressive ahead-of-service tipping on the price. It is very much frowned upon (especially because they already are expensive).

I’m from Australia and we very rarely tip. It’s just not part of the culture. It was one of the biggest changes when I moved to the USA.
