Let's make things worse.
Japan: you are expected NOT to tip at all. If you leave money on the table, they'll call you and hand it back. I'm serious.
Brazil: years ago, some restaurants started inserting percentage tip (usually around the 10% mark), the thing caught on, and soon pretty much every restaurant you went to there it was, as an obligatory thing. Came with the bill and all. Before that it was entirely optional.
But then, the practice became illegal. Not tipping per se, but having it as part of the bill. It was considered inconstitutional and like the restaurants were improperly passing part of their operational costs to costumers, which does not bode well for tax purposes. Because there are taxes for everything here, and this just overcomplicated it.
So we basically went back to, if you wanna tip, you leave some money on the table. It cannot be an obligatory fixed percentage included in the bill. But it's still common to tip restaurant staff, hotel staff, people working on gas stations... I think that's more or less it.
