In most "non-tipping" countries the price of the service is included in the price of the item. Generally, in the US at establishments where tipping is common, that cost is not included in the price and you pay the server separately. The server is being paid a sub minimum wage and is expected to make up the rest of there income from tips. Tipping is not really paying extra.
