Try eating out in a place that isn't America sometime. You'll see that the service in American restaurants is superb compared to the rest of the world precisely because of tips.
I'm from America. Your service is entirely dependent on how much the waiter expects to receive a tip. If they're jaded, you get shitty service. Simple as.
There's still competition between European waiters to sell more items to look good and get pay raises and promotions.
No surprise there, if they don't pay their staff it's gonna be like one of those scam neighborhoods in pajeetistan were hundreds of people tries to approach you to sell you something. All pretending to be your friend.
Everywhere in Europe, restaurants have to pay all of their staff, it's required by law, unions negotiate a reasonable wage, not the governments. So if you want good service, you just have to pay for it. Any place were the food cost more than $100/person is gonna have decent service.
Similar to starbucks the seating will be comfortable, no plastic trash designed to get you out as soon as you're finished, you can stay "as long as you want" (common sense required), order in more drinks or coffe or just hang out with your frens as you're probably not eating there alone.

This is true. Especially in Europe. Total jerkoffs, and never come back to check or get you beers. EXCEPT at Oktoberfest... Which has TIPPING (SURPRISE) and that's the only time Germans start crying when you don't tip.

All the chains in Europe are American fast food joints anyway, this is a common mistake most Americans make, they go to a cheap chain then they judge every restaurant on the continent by that one branch of a shitty chain, including independent ones.
The good restaurants are the independent ones, it cost more to eat there obviously, a lot more, but if you want service that's were you go, the price advertised is the final price without markup. Chains will always be cheaper because they buy low quality food in bulk.
Tipping gives you a fake smile, in a good proper restaurant you'll get an actual smile. Ask the locals for the best restaurants, they know better than any foreigner, it's the only way to find the good stuff.
Bingo. The service in Europe was horrible. I'm at a restaurant and the staff is just kicking it, not working meanwhile I just want to order my food. No incentive has expected results.
Pay McDonalds prices, get McDonalds level of service, sounds like you're in a place were they don't bring you the food, you may have to walk to the counter and pick it up yourself. Can't blame "the country of Europe" for that, it's your own choice in restaurant that is the problem here.
I'm asking you to name the bad restaurant, "the country of Europe" is way too generalizing. Heck even naming the country is too generalizing, there's just too many restaurants and they're all independent. No (((big chains))).
I also didn't say McDonalds, I said "McDonalds prices", that's just a nicer word for cheap rubbish, where obviously you should expect the service to be bad.
I never said "the country of Europe". I said "Europe" because I wasn't referring to service in any single country. It was in England and France and Holland.
(non Europe) Service in China was horrible too. Scotland was okay. Hong Kong was good. Service in Mexico is actually pretty good probably because they know about US tipping culture.
And I also never said I went to a chain.
A dozen people here said that service in Europe sucks compared to the US and your rebuttal is "nu uh" and I highly doubt we all went to the same restaurant.
Not tipping is Jewish.
How is that a refutation of the image?
No

You wrote a communist talking point because you're a retard.
Communism is about the destruction of culture, nations, and our financial independence.

And why the fuck would I cross the Atlantic to eat McDonalds? I don't even eat that shit here.
