Lately I’ve been at some finer diners in my country, and the payment terminals now have an option if you want to tip.
I’ve made it a rule never to tip. Even if the service was magnificent.

Out of all the things I don’t want my country adopting from the US, the tipping must be somewhere in the top.

I assume that’s to account for how many people are cashless now rather than making it mandatory. I personally haven’t handled anything more than a few coins in years. Can’t remember the last time I saw a bank note.
