I'm simply not german. In some parts of europe you used to get really
lousy service if they thought you are german. That situation is
improving luckely.



Maybe they're bad tippers?



We dutch are probably even worse tippers. When I was in New York I was
shocked to hear that service personel expected a 20% tip (gasp!). At
home I'm used to tipping to round to the next 5 euro's if the service
was good. But then again, service is included in the prices here (not
that New York is any cheaper than Amsterdam despite that).
