Tipping is a disgusting American custom.

You may like it or not but it's been a thing in Poland to an extent for decades, even in the interwar period when we weren't nearly as influenced by American culture. So it's by no means a recent cultural import from the USA.

Very similar to Croatia, but it grew exponentially worse since 1990.

The fact that it's standard practice is disgusting. I don't think wrong for exceptional service is bad. In the US, you have to tip even if the service is shit. And since they don't show the tax on the final price, you end up postponing anywhere from 20-35% more for a meal or service.
