Well, I base my experiences off of the US, Japan, SK, and Singapore, the four countries I've lived in, and of those four the US easily has the worst service, and is also the only country that even allows tips. In Japan, they'll chase you down if you leave a tip, and if they can't catch you, then they'll leave your tip at the police for you to claim it. I've been living in the US since last August, and the service really isn't even comparable. I tried tipping the mandatory 15% at first, but it just felt so bad tipping for service poorer than I'm used to, so I've stopped tipping in the past month or so. My American friends tell me they'll spit in my food if I ever return (yeah, that really makes me want to tip them), but I don't think I've ever been to the same American restaurant twice except for a nearby Starbucks.
