England and Japan, especially in Japan. I tried tipping the people in Japan and they would not let me, I tried to give them money and they seriously would just not take it.
You need to get outside the box more.
This is going to blow your mind...make sure you are sitting down before you read any further.
ITS THE SAME FUCKING THING! A waiter might fill up your glass with some cucumber/lemon water and bring you a plate of food from a kitchen 40 ft away. You think they should be tipped for that service, right? What about the delivery guy who drives X miles to hand deliver a pizza to your fucking door so that you dont have to put on a clean shirt and drag your fat ass out of the house to hit Arby's for date night with your left hand? I'd argue that the delivery guy probably put in a little more effort than the waiter. Not only do they deserve a little bit of tip if they bring your pizza in a reasonable amount of time but, for the reasons outlined above, it will probably stop you from literally eating shit at some point in the future.
Once in a while even I get a tip from a client for a job well done. Who am I to refuse the tipper's magnanimous gesture?
I rarely eat out, but when I do I always tip well. If I don't have the money to leave a decent tip, I stay home. I have never failed to tip, even for poor service. The ugly Hooters waitress deserved a good tip for good service. If she's ugly, the tips can help her pay for liposuction.
The tip jars all over the place really do annoy me, though.

I overtip pretty much everyone. Why? Because my existence on this Earth is unfathomably brief, and I am the type of person who enjoys spreading joy with other human beings during the tiny slice of time that I am given.
The priority treatment in the future is also a bonus.
If you have such a problem with tipping, then I advise you to stop being so broke and also to focus on the shit that really matters. Dang.

If I see a bit of basic manners, friendliness, natural-ness and Dale Carnegie stuff in them I overtip (20%+), even if the food was nasty. 15% if they did their job but never offered a simple friendly greeting or table check up. Round it off to the next $10 increment is they blatantly sucked and were hostile.

Tip the man, cheapskate.
Back when I lived in Canada, and had food delivered, I always tipped generously. Works good too if you order from the same store with the same delivery men always working. Delivery men will remember your address, so your food always comes quick, and shows up hot, because they know you tip better than most.

QFT. Another funny entertainment: see how they all try to hit on the hired chicks in Vegas.
I know I've said it before, but you are the man.
First time in America I didn't realize what unusually high tipping was good for - that is, until I met a few bartenders who told me their hourly wage.
Now I tip $5 for the first drink, intro myself to the bartender and just have to yell his name next time I go to the bar for a drink (for which I'll tip him $1 or $2, depending on my mood for). Meanwhile all the other idiots are wondering why I know the barkeeper and why on earth he's chosing to serve me within 10 seconds instead of them, who have been waiting for at least 2-3 minutes. MUAHAH.
And yes, there's no tipping culture in most of Europe (you just leave the change) and service here is probably still better than in the US.

See, I find this interesting as in the posts above people basically stated that you need to travel to see the type of poor service out there in "non-tipping" cultures. Basically saying we should "be thankful" for the tipping culture.
So, you are saying Europe as a whole probably has better customer service than the US, regardless of our "tipping culture that guarantees prompt service"?
