Count me as one who also doesn't care for the intrusive and overly solicitous service often found in the US. I concluded years ago that the British pub is perhaps the best service model for food and beverage and no tipping is required. It does however flumox first time visitors who may sit for some time before realizing they have to go to the bar for drinks and bring them back to the table themselves.
