Tipping Culture
Tipping is not expected, but appreciated
Tipping is not a very common practice in Slovakia and it is not an expectation. However, when you do tip, it is appreciated. Be careful when you say thank you in Slovakia. The server will then understand that the whole change is his tip, no matter how big it is. Instead, you can tell him how much you want to pay including his tip when handing him the money, or wait for the change before tipping.
