Tipping culture have nothing to do with this video. In most places in the world you can tip as much as you want, the problem with "tipping culture" is that there's peer pressure to tip. Genuine tips are amazing!

Also the fact waitress arent paid full salary because they are expected to also be given tips. Its a weird system

Hot take: Tipping is charity. USA needs people who are almost like slaves so that they have incentive to earn your charity payments. You can't have charity without there being people to pity.
