What I say is a fact because my friends who visited America last August 2006, told me themselves last saturday when they saw me questioned a friend because his family own guesthouse/resturant where we meet once a month.

Did I say you were making stories up? No, I didn't.
To translate it in German:
oversimplify = grob vereinfachen
What I am saying is that you are making things too simple, seeing it black and white when trying to compare apples to orange. There is no either better system. I am tired of your attitude thinking that Germany is so much better than the US, and exclaiming that the American system is no good. Tipping has worked just fine for many years in the US, and just leave it alone.
As for waiters who has an attitude change, it is not the only American thing. I experienced it even when I was in Norway. When I wanted my money back, a Norwegian woman threw a fit at me, when I thought Norwegians did not tip. So it is not a solo American thing.
