U.K. no tip line on receipt?
Just arrived in Cambridge, UK for the first time today and when I went out for lunch (at Revolution), they put my card in a handheld machine but never asked/provided a way for me to tip. I've read U.K. isn't as tip mandatory as the US, but what is the proper way to tip with credit if they just take your card and run it? (I kinda thought they would hand me the small machine and it would have a place to enter a tip)
