So what? Service rendered is service rendered, whether it's at a gourmet restaurant or a drive-in. The answer I was looking for, again, was that it's because that's the norm.
Whatever... I'm content with agreeing to disagree.
(edit) Oh, I'd have to respond to that ninja edit there.
Right back at ya.

HAVE YOU EVER TIPPED YOUR PARENTS AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER
I THINK NOT
NOW WHY WOULD THAT BE
Are you for real here?

What, you expect me to say "because they're my parents"? Why don't you answer your own question this time? Is it because 'it's built into the system'?
(edit) Not that I got anything to prove to you, but maybe you should do better than trying to compare commercial exchange with family interactions.

Now, maybe what you meant is that tipping is optional in that it can be withheld for poor service, although most Americans wouldn't even exercise that option due to social pressure.
I'm most likely just being obtuse, but what does nationality have to do with basic human behavior?

In other words, we tip because we feel guilty if we don't, and not because there is an established system that deprives us of alternatives.
Maybe you but I tip to make the world more awesome
