I actually find the US way more uncomfortable. It seems to come across slightly in your face. All of my favourite restraints are in France (thouh not Paris) almost exclusively for this reason. Quiet, polite, restrained. As another poster in this thread touched on it is simply a case of local custom. Not tipping in the US, for example, is sure to net the same response I suspect.
