@buddyhally: big difference in the USA - here, they are allowed to reduce waitstaff wages to allow for presumed tips. The minimum wage is somewhere around $7.50/hour, but for waitstaff, it's only $2.13/hour. When I was in the UK, I would tip 5-10% for great service, otherwise not at all. In the USA, I tip 20-30%. Different setup, different customs.
