There are at least a few countries where tipping is considered to be extremely rude, but as far as I know those places also pay their people normal wages. Here in the U.S. that's not always the case. I also think it's dumb that if you happen to order a more expensive meal that your tip should be proportionally larger, but that's just the norm. I usually do small tips for just "doing your job okay" service and if they were especially attentive or engaging in some way then I'll tip them higher.
