In the USA maybe.

I can assure you, being a waiter is taken quite seriously by much of the civilised world. A good waiter is an important part of the dining experience.

Yet in the US, due to tipping, it can be (and generally is in most more affluent areas) considerably better paid and lucrative than pretty much anywhere else.

Also I'm not sure what are you saying is generally true at all in most places (unless we're talking about a specific subset of restaurants).

Only in fine dining establishments, certainly not in casual/family restaurants, which are most restaurants.

There are many casual/family restaurants in France, Italy, Germany, Spain and other European countries with high-quality waiting staff.
