Actually, tipping is expected in Europe, even though it is included in the bill and sometimes with a line item on the bill. You don't leave 15-20% cash on the table, but when they tell you the total, you are usually expected to round up a Euro or two. So if a waiter comes over with that big wallet they use for payments, and they say, "€25.30," you're supposed to say, "€27." If you then give him a 20 and 10 Euro note, he'll give you €3 back. And the bathroom thing in Germany is not tipping. It's the price. Some folks round up and some don't pay, but the sign usually says €.50. Some of the large chain hwy rest stops have turnstiles you have to pay €.70 to €1 to make them open, but then they then give you a €.50 coupon for use at the register if buy food or drink.
