I'm from the UK, and while we do have tipping, it's not expected and is usually given as a sign of good service.

With that said, surely there is a market here for some tech bellend to create an app/service that allows you to put a restaurant name in, get an abridged menu, and to replace the prices with "actual" prices if you consider a living wage tip. Provide some breakdowns of how much money goes to the serving staff, put red flags against businesses that pool/steal tips, and rate businesses that provide value for money.

The culture is bad, but one benefit is that at least the money goes to staff - albeit only often serving staff rather and not BOH staff.
