I know the first time I was in Switzerland, I was tipping at a pub place, and a guy from Germany told me not to do it, unless you get awesome service.
Drinks are expensive enough there, and I guess the servers make living wages.
Someone mentioned EDO, and I was at one on Saturday, that no tip option came up on their card reader, so I went to my car and got some loonies.
Another one that makes me laugh is these small neighborhood liquor stores with tip jars. You rang that case of beer through awesome, I think that is worth about 18% tip.
One of the worst places I've been is NYC, seems like you're handing out cash for tips everywhere. Took a cab from La Guardia to Manhattan and looked up tipping cabs in NY on the internet. People basically said if you can't afford 20% don't take a cab, take transit.
