When I was in Europe and went to a restaurant, the service was awful. Same in New Zealand. Instead of being an opportunity to make money, you are seen as a pain in the ass in the eyes of the servers, who are never tipped and paid on a mediocre hourly wage. They are slow to serve you and generally rude. In the two days I was in France the rudeness was magnified. My buddy who spent a week in France a few years back said he went to two places where they refused to serve him because he was American. I guess they were ballin so hard that they didn't need the money. The system of waiters, bellman, bartenders etc., earning your ensures MUCH better customer service. Plus a server/bartender can make so much more money this way. There is a reason we expect and demand good customer service here, Euros/Brits/Kiwis need to pay attention.

The American System of Tipping is by far the best!

Counterpoint: You go to a pub in Britain and tip the barstaff well on your first round and you are GUARANTEED to be served first for the rest of the night.
