Tipping is pretty normal here in Germany but not required, no one depends on it. Probably because our minimum wage is actually high enough. Germany's minimum wage of 12.50€/h is almost double that of the US, which is $7.25/h or 6.76€/h if you convert it.
Edit: I just found out in this thread that businesses don't even have to pay minimum wage in the US, they just have to pay what's left for the tips to cover the minimum wage. That's so fucking stupid, holy shit.
Isn't it? Almost like tipping at all is dumb. But don't believe all the hype you're reading. Many states supersede that requirement with higher wages. You can see the full listing of state by state requirements here.

The most populous states (so think majority of people you'd ever talk to online on the matter) require jobs to match their minimum wage and not just the federal one. So AZ as an example (and only choosing this example since I live here), the "tipped" wage is 11.35 and the minimum wage that must be reached is 14.35 after tips. I do not feel a need to tip much more than a couple bucks if I tip. 14.35 to bring me a lukewarm plate of ever decreasing meal portions... I'd rather just get up and get the food off the line myself than pay someone 10$ to do it for me.
