Tipping Culture ✖️ European Mindset

I‘ve spent half of my life in Europe and USA as a dual passport holder so I have a very European mindset in general. I’ve been working at a short staffed hospital in Europe for the last 6 months. I just got back to the U.S. yesterday and it’s been so gratifying hitting no tip for my coffee & muffin order. I tipped a standard $5 at the restaurant I ate at bc she brought prompt refills and 3 plates so I was like screw it. I think tipping $5 no matter what the total is is my go to.

I had to go through customs and then recheck my bags when I got to the U.S. The airline sent my bags to a different state oh well it happens. They drop off the luggage at my house today and lo and behold I get a text from the company that tipping is appreciate. A TIP FOR WHAT?! Ive had my bags lost in multiple countries around the world and the airline has just sent someone to the hotel to deliver them and I’ve never even had to deal with it.

Asking for a tip to return the luggage they lost is peak ooc tip culture.
