In some countries it's not customary to tip. Like in Japan, no, you don't tip. Australia is the same.
Okay, in the U.S., I can be persuaded to tip servers just because I know that their base earnings from their employer can be appallingly low. I tend to be generous with tipping servers. At hotels I tip the usual people like housekeeping.
Sometimes I've skipped out on customary tips when I forget to bring cash, or I'm just suddenly stingy, or feel like the tip is exploitation when I already paid well enough for something.
Do you always tip?
