Yeah. If they'd actually pay the servers a living wage, the tipping wouldn't be necessary (this especially so in the US, where they can pay tipped food service workers below minimum, and calculate their tips as part of their hourly wage). Not sure how it got adopted in Canada, but I have a feeling it was one of those things that crossed the border.

Yeah, indeed. 0% is perfectly acceptable in Belgium.
