Americas got to be the only country in the world still using dollar bills, takes a while to realize as a tourist that those dollars are just for tipping.
Yeah New Zealand has probably some of the best service of any western country I have been to. Australia is absolutely crap in comparison, service overall is utterly terrible even though both countries are very similar, but the NZers appreciate the business and tipping them gives the hugest shock.
