We recently returned from a trip to UK. No tipping requested or "guilted" into.
It was really nice. Maybe our food prices were higher, I don't know. But it was refreshing to not have to worry about it.

It is an issue. Asking for a tip makes you feel guilty. The vendor should focus on the customer.
