The UK has been slow in adopting the tipping habit and just as it does we find our restaurants (including some big chains) undermining confidence in the tipping culture by exploiting the staff - essentially taking their tips.
Britain's restaurants are creaming off millions of pounds of customers' tips to boost their profits, an investigation by The Independent has found.
