Although I agree when it comes to Uber. I mean, I don't need great service from my Uber driver, I just need them to get me from point A to point B. However, the restaurant service I've gotten in places outside the United States is just awful. It's 15-20 minutes before you'll see your server again, regardless of whether the place is busy or empty.

I think that's somewhat if not greatly dependent on culture. In Japan and parts of China you get great service from staff who are typically paid only slightly above minimum wage. Parts of Europe have good service, and many places are seemingly contemptuous of customers, maybe foreign customers? In my experience its not exactly tied to tipping or not.
