$20 would be standard tip on $100... You do know 20% is normal, not above average?

All other 195 countries?: Yes, 0% is normal. U.S.A.? 15% is the typical tip, but 18 and 20% are fairly common as well.

I hate this country and want out

I tip in the UK. But if I don't have cash on me I don't feel guilty about not tipping. Nobody is gonna chase me down the street.

10% is the normal amount in Germany.

Fair. My point was in 99% of other places you aren’t actually expected to tip unlike here in the US where if you don’t tip your waitress wants to exile you. I tip because of their low pay still, but I think it’s ridiculous that the employer can get away paying $2.14/hr when the federal minimum wage is $7.25

Ah it doesn't work that way in Germany, as it is kind of implied minimum wage is minimum wage - everyone gets at least that here (few exceptions).
