Frankly, I tip, but in rare circumstances and because the person went out of their way when they didn't have to. Besides, I consider tip reverse bribery. In other countries, you give someone in the service industry some little money then they do things for you right, in US, after they do it, we give em. I rather bribe em upfront and know that I will get a great service.

Yes, however in other countries waiters make a living wage and are not paid dependent on tips. That also means there are a lot fewer people employed at restaurants, service is often not as good on busy nights, and the prices are much higher (I have waited tables in both the US and Europe so speak from experience)
I won't waste my breath lecturing you on the fact that in industry standard is not the fault of the employee, I will only say you are a VERY brave man if you eat at the same restaurant twice after not leaving a tip. Most of the managers I worked with over the years gave us the right to deny service to customers who did not leave a tip and did not have a legitimate complaint. If my colleagues were forced to serve such a client more than once, they were certainly will get their satisfaction in other ways.. And given that the kitchen prep, bartender and waiter all share the tips, they all share in the revenge as well....
So, like most things in life, you get what you pay for
