Other than that, exclusively looking at the catering trade, I understand that US waiter/waitresses survive on tips, while in comparison the UK equivalents earn enough to not worry about it.

I don't agree with tipping because of public perception or the position of the person expecting a tip.

Is it? When ever I check there is nothing in the bill saying service charge included....
