Thank you, I've just realized how... different (to not say "awful"...) it is in US after reading more comments here.

To be honest sometimes I'm anxious when my bill ends up some number that's hard to tip from; but if I don't tip, nothing will happen.

My thanks for being polite, but I think "awful" is a perfectly reasonable and accurate term for the state of affairs here :(
