In theory it would work well but like many things that look good on paper it never does.

I don't see how it looks good on paper, either. :dunno:

If the server does a good job and everyone tips appropriately you make pretty good money

Either way, it is wrong that their EMPLOYERS aren't paying them at least minimum wage

here on my small little island i know 90% of the waiters at the resteraunts so when i go have a burger or chinese food or something i ask them "how much do you want for a tip" most of them know im horrible with math so they give me a number and i add it to the debit or pay for it myself... one of my old support workers said allways tip double the tax but i dont like tipping a tonne of money for a plate of frys from a burger joint... i try to tip at least tax though. [12%]

15% is usually plenty.

But essentially it means the public is paying for most of the server's wages. In Australia, the employer does that. Any tips are a bonus.
