I was thinking about this the other day. Is it a normal thing to tip for services in any other country besides the U.S.?

I think it's primarily a United States thing.
I was reading an article the other day about tourists. Americans seem to be kind of notorious for being bad tourists. Complaining about service, etc.. The article I was reading made an interesting point though. It said that part of the reason we are such bad tourists is because we are used to pretty decent service here, due to competition perhaps, and when we don't get it, we go elsewhere.
I've often heard of foreigners mentioning that we have very good service compared to their countries. Kind of makes you think...Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

From my experience
Tipping: Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Portugal
No tipping: Spain
A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".
So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.Comment

a lot of the times the service is better in the US due to the tipping, the better they serve the customer the bigger tip they expect to recieve...I live in Hong Kong and generally there isnt any tipping but there is a 10% service charge added in restaraunts....the waiters dont care as much here because they arnt working for tips....that doesnt mean they dont provide good service...its just that they dont feel it necessary to go beyond what their job requires. You will find some places here dont allow tipping and if you leave a tip for the waiter their manager will ask them to give it back.Comment

nope, Americans are amongst the top 4 most desired tourists (very recent study) and the Brits are the worst tourists in the World (being drunk 24/7 and doing the most stpid shit)
I used to manage a restaurant/coffee shop in South Africa for 2-3 years, most of the Americans are very easy-going and compared to the white South Africans they are not fussy at all
everybody tips in South Africa too, 10% being the norm.
In 99% of the places the waiters don't get paid at all, they rely only on tipsComment
