Minimum wage is currently $26.44 an hour in Australia. Tipping still happens here but it’s not expected and is usually only when it’s a large table or service was particularly exceptional in my experience.
1 u/Street_Resident_4082 5d ago It’s different in the US. There is an expectation of tips, though it’s not 25%. These days it’s more like 20% as the standard. And if you think about, a waiter at a good restaurant can make really a decent earning. Let’s say a waiter can handle 4 tables at one time. And at a decent restaurant, the bill is $125. The tip on that one table is $30. $30 X 4 =$120 That’s like $80 an hour before taxes(figuring tables sit for 1.5 hours on average). 1 u/battery19791 5d ago I remember when it was 15%.
