This practice is no more used in Europe while in the states if you want better services in restaurants you have to tip.

Try one of these techniques if you want better service in restaurants:

1) Become very famous.

2) Spend $1,000 or more on wine every time you go out.

3) Keep going to the same restaurant until you get VIP treatment; if that doesn't work, pick another place.

Now, here is a technique guaranteed to have no effect on your service: Leave a generous tip.

Hi Muriel, hi everyone,

MurielB a écrit:... This practice is no longer used in Europe...

In France, 15% of the total price is designed for service. If you are satisfied of the service, you can add 5%.
In The States, you mandatorily have to add 15% and you add an extra 5% if you are satisfied.
