Germany does. I tipped 15% my first time at a german restaurant (because waitresses there have the same minimum wage as any other worker and the reason I tip 20% in the US is because they only make $2/hr here) and the waitress literally asked me if she did something wrong.

Probably because you tipped more than expected. Tips in Germany are usually 5–10 % and not mandatory. Traditionally the bill was rounded to the next whole number, and the tip was the difference.

Interesting, that's certainly possible. But why would she think she did something wrong if I tipped more than she expected?

Tbf I'm not used to waitstaff commenting at all on tips, it was weird to me just that she watched me press the number on the card reader and then said something about it.
