Culture Corner
In Sweden, it's common to pay for the meal at the register instead of waiting for the server to bring the check. It's also customary to tip around 10%, but it's not mandatory, as service fees are often included in the bill. In many restaurants, it's also possible to order "dagens rätt," which is the dish of the day and usually an affordable option.
