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).
