My experience in both the UK and Germany was the service is utterly terrible. Some people believe this is a worthy trade-off. I disagree ,and I reject the notion that the only acceptable answer is higher guaranteed wages.

And my experience has a French person is that service in the US is terrible because waiters are ultra invasive (they interrupt me while I talk to say stupid stuff like « how is everything ? »). It’s called « cultural differences »

I agree. Not once in both France or Germany did the waiter come to me and rushed me. I can sit for hours and no one bats an eye. In the US things are always rushed. They come to your table and annoy me _and_ expect a tip of min. 15%. Once, a waiter in NYC actually yelled at us because we didn't tip enough.
