>>1564521Because if I go to the US no server is getting a tip over $0.50 a plate.
The whole "pay them 20%" thing is ridiculous; I order lobster and I'll have to pay 3x as much as if I order a burger, despite the fact the exact same amount of work is performed by the server.
$0.50 is fair, all they did is take my order and transport a plate 10 feet to my table.
