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.

Oversimplify = distort or falsified something.
Please don't take my post personal because I disagree American tipping system.
No, it's no comparision with apples and orange or see black and white. Its about tipping system in different countries where it relate in this thread here. The reason, I created the thread here because I am interesting to find out why and learn about tipping system/service charge in different countries.
Is it wrong to share you all about tipping vs service charge in my country and disagree with American tipping system? Is it wrong to open what I think of American tipping system? I see no problem if you disagree with Europe or oversea system over service charge or tell me what you think of service charge.
Yes, I aware that our countries are not prefect but it's tipping system, I'm referring to because it relate in my thread. Is it wrong to disagree American tipping system because I am for "including service charge" in many europe countries?
As what you said about Norway is your experience as the same as I had an experience with europe and oversea countries. Is it wrong to share you all about my experience of visit to europe countries? Do I say anything against your experience there in Norway or what? I didn't say anything about Norway because I don't have any experience there but you.
