the hearing thing drives me mad from time to time.
i don't have the touching problem (and i'm thankful for it)
as for tipping. now, here is where i'm glad i live in australia and not the u.s.a. - here our minimum wage is actually a real minimum. tipping is not an expectation coz people get paid a 'real' wage. [aussies abroad often have no idea that tipping is actually a component of people's income - even though it comes up often enough on tv.] (none of this suggests that our minimum wage is any less problematic than yours.)
