That's not the reality.
People tip based on the following:
The amount of the bill (everyone knows that a server who carries filet mignon works three times as hard as a server who carries an omelette and a cocktail is five times harder to pick up from the service bar than a soda - facts of life)
Guilt.
Their upbringing.
The server's gender and race (really)
How attractive the server is.
Their mood.
The weather.
The noise level of the restaurant.
If the they were touched by the server.
In practice, once you actually study this stuff, tips have very, very little to do with the quality of service received. Specifically, its around 2% of the tip amount.
Service can be really inconsistent and also bad in the US too.
Above all restaurant service is a team effort and the service you receive is merely a function of the quality of management. Its insanely unemphatic to believe your server deserves a dock in pay for things out of their control.
