Czechs think so, too. Rounding up to the closest convenient monetary value is fine (like 50 CZK from 47), but the US rules could as well be from another planet.

Everybody I know who visited the US was bewildered.

Well, you forget that in the US an item with prize 47 actually costs 52 because tax is also not included.

Some people in Russia insist on tipping. They usually do it by leaving a 50 or 100-ruble note in the bill folder thing even if they paid by card. There's never any provision to tip with card in one go like in the US, it's always an extra, strictly optional step.

Some places where you pay at the counter would have a tip jar, or even a small electronic device you tap your card on to tip a fixed amount. These are ignored by most people.
