My guess would be their attempt to push overhead costs onto customers.

Whats wrong with america: we are culturally brainwashed into feeling bad for not paying the wages of someone working a dead end job.

Whats right with countries that dont feel pressured to tip their servers: they send the message that if you dont like your job find a new one but its not my responsibility to support you in your dead end job.

The degree to which someone judges or finds evil in another..he himself is guilty to the same degree...even if is unconsciously

This. I'd second Germany too but it's hit or miss. Some servers there expect it since us Americans are all over the place. Some could care less and still provide good service.
