The UK, Spain, France - Doesn't seem to matter where I am - The service in general just doesn't seem to be as good in cultures where tipping isn't the norm.

No one comes back to ask if I want anything else, no one comes to take our order and when you try to get the server's attention he treats you as if coming your way is the greatest favour he's ever given anyone.

Now I'm not asking for the customer-centric insanity you find at a TGI Fridays in the US Midwest, but at least a little attentiveness would be good
