But I guess that's not the service industry in America...shit.

Well there is good and bad everywhere you go. I did not feel that service was any better in the UK than in the US and we are expected to tip in the US. But if you eat in a 4 or 5 star rated place in any country the service is most likely to be much better. That has been my experience. Pay the workers better, the bill is higher, the tips are bigger as a percentage of the bill, the service is usually better.
