I feel bad for people making minimum wage who work in a job where they don't earn tips. I hear that one can do well (perhaps even very well) from tips.
I don't know much more about the culture than that.
I didn't like the whole tipping thing to start with... But when I returned to Australia I certainly noticed (was actually fairly immediately appalled by) the awful service. And then seeing how places were starting to try and request tips -- but not seeming to understand that tips are supposed to be *earned* by being *good* at what you do.
