French tipping practices : you tip only if the service is exceptionally good or if you are a regular and want to ingratiate the staff to yourself. Staff members get a salary and don't have to depend on alms.

By the way, tips all go into a common tip jar and get shared among the whole staff at the end of the day or week (depending upon the place).
