i agree that it shouldn’t be taken tooooo seriously.
It’s appreciated if you leave a tip. But people don’t.
Locals tend to only leave the roundup change if they’re in a local bar. But yes, tourists do tend to leave a little more if they’re in the more ‘tailored to tourists’ style of restaurants!
I think it does depend on where you are for how much you leave :)
