i can imagine so many people that don't see that ledger and tip on top of it too

In NY it depends on the place. It is usually 6 people or more. Miami has a lot of tourists so sometimes is can fuck people but most of the time it is to protect the waiters from getting screwed. In most other places of the world tipping is not a standard and when these people come to the US they don't leave anything. They are not aware that waiters get like 2-3 bucks an hour as minimum wage and survive off the tips.
