Here in Europe, waiters actually get a living wage, and still we're expected to tip??? Like yo fuck that! I never go to regular restaurants unless it's with a work colleague that refuses to go to the canteen. Oh my sweet canteen, so cheap yet plentiful, satisfying my stomach, mind and wallet, a true blessing.

As a European. What are you talking about? That's certainly not the case in my part of Europe. And we don't even have a minimum wage. (Officially)

Really? Holy shit... I'm in Czechia. And we have both living wages for waiters (it's been driving our restaurant prices unusually high lately) and a minimum wage. Altho the minimum wage is quite low. Roughly 650€ of full-time when converted. Thankfully I haven't seen jobs listed that low, I only know it because I managed to negotiate a payed internship and that's what they gave me before my raise.

Oh don't get me wrong. We got living wages for all full time jobs. Including waiters. We just don't have a minimum wage (officially). It's sorted out by the unions.
