> Nowhere delivers consistently attentive service quite like the US.

I have found this to be true in pretty much all interactions (on average), regardless of whether the person is on a tipped wage.

Americans value salesmanship and customer service in ways that few other countries I've been to do. They market better, they sell better, they make customers feel better, in pretty much all types of businesses.
