yes but I'm in the US, and servers make about $2.15 per hour, they rely on tips. Give them a tip if you think the service is good, or don't. it's your choice. Just saying most servers get paid pretty low and rely on tips

If they don’t make minimum wage after tips for that day, their employer is legally obligated to pay them minimum wage, and very rarely do they ever make as little as minimum wage after tips.

You are absolutely correct. Servers should not be paid as little as $2.15/hour. Employers need to do better.

They do this because they make well over minimum wage after tips. Nurses I know make more bartending on the side than they do as a full time ER nurse with a bachelors.
