    In America, waiters and waitresses are paid far below minimum wage...I think last time I checked the average was around $4-5 an hour, before tax. This system is supposed to engourage waiters to give the best service possible, but ultimately ends up fucking someone who has an exhausting job out of a fair wage because of cheap assholes like you.

      True story, I got some washing done when I was in the states, and I was told to pay the person who brought your items back to you $1 each piece of clothing. I had a few beers and tipped the lady $5 and she almost did a back flip, was incredibly grateful and left. I realized in my drunken state I gave her $50 instead :P

      Yes I have heard that this is what happens in the US which sucks completely.

      Here in Australia, the waiting staff still get low wages but that depends on the sort of establishment that employs them. The bigger restaurants pay more of course.

      That being said, I try to always leave a tip of some sort unless the service is very poor or food not good. And if it is exceptional service, the bigger the tip. It is the right thing to do.
