>>14598348>more expensive to eat overseasWell, everything's a bit cheaper in the US, but reasons for that include generally lower wages and taxes. Swings and roundabouts innit
>you have to tip in additionNo, usually voluntary (see the Scot and the Aussie), unless you're in a pricey place or tourist trap like Paris.
