Common in many European countries as well (for the same reasons).

Common because people saw it in north America where they actually got some decent service, and so it caught on in Europe.

Now they just add a service charge of anything between 10 to 15% so any incentive to make an extra effort is gone but you are still stuck with an uplift in your bill simply for taking an order and bringing it to the table.

'Tips' are now an entitlement,and as with any entitlement, there is no gratitude. Gratitude for discretionary tips fuels effort, entitlement kills effort stone dead.

If you're on the hook for a party of six and the bill comes to £300, that extra £30-£45 begins to grate. It's just an owner's racket to force tips and then keep them to subsidise the wage bill.

I notice there are few places that have cottoned on over here, Metro for example, who add 5% and also 10% VAT, even if you are just having a beer at the bar.

The first records of tips (Bibalia) in Germany go back to the 14th century. And tipping in America started after the Civil War when travelling Americans brought the habit from the UK, where records of tipping go back to 1755.

In the Uk where I grew up, we always tipped taxi drivers, barbers (don’t ask me why?) we only tipped waiting staff if the service was above and beyond adequate.
This bullshit in the US whereby the waitresses depend on, and expect, the generosity of customers (regardless of how competent or friendly their service is) to make a living wage is ridiculous. The law should demand you pay your staff a proper wage, if you have to raise your prices to do so, so be it.

See above. In Germany, tipping is very much the norm for restaurant staff, bell boys, and indeed barbers as well.

In the Netherlands at a pub - the owner was offended when I offered a tip. “What’s this?!” and then “We don’t do that around here.”
