In Taiwan the tips are included with most services with an option to leave more if desired. In fact, I was in a restaurant in Taipei when my drunk coworker tipped a young woman about $70 US for a meal of about $100, she almost fainted.

Taiwanese are constantly complaining about the Western habit of tipping.
They fervently do not want it to catch on among the wait-staff.
You ain't seen cheap until you've seen, and lived with, Taiwan cheap.


Although I am beginning to see 'tip jars' (usually empty) more frequently in some counter areas.
I know what they are but since they're written in Chinese I can ignore them...;)
