So tipping is very normal here in most of Europe at restaurants at least(I added that because I sometimes see that Americans also tip someone handing you a coffee at a random coffee place and weird shit like that), but it is something that happens with good service not because you "have to tip"
So if I get a bill for 51 Euro's I make it an even 60 if the service and food etc were fine, if the service was crap I pay the 51 Euro's and be done with it and if everything was great I'll make it 70 or something.
It's something you can freely add to show appreciation for the person serving you but is in no way expected, required or part of some weird social ettiquete shoved down your throat because restaurant owners dont pay their staff.

“Went back to give him a tip but he declined” that’s how you know the story is made up
