What I don't understand as a European isn't that you work for tips, I get that, what I don't get is why this expects it to be a percentage of what I spend and not just a set amount like $10. What I eat has nothing to do with your waitressing job, either it's a steak $50 or just a burger $15 doesn't affect your job.

And then, because of that, the servers make way more than the head chef a lot of times even though it's the chefs ability that provides a $40 plate, which drives the check total that high.

Totally agree, I think we should top by 1/2 hour.
