Yes, once in a bar in Key West, before I realised the US "rules", as I walked up to the bar the barman shouted out "2 beers and no tip again?". A bit humiliating to say the least.
I'm not sure we apply much logic. SWMBO will always tip abroad, even for a couple of coffees. But we never consider tipping in Costa or the local garden centre for coffees. Similarly with food, we'll always tip 10 - 15% when dining out unless it a Spoons or Burger King (not that we ever stoop THAT low LOL).
