Hey,

did I understand that correctly? Waiters have to pay 8% of their _SALES_ as income taxes??! What kind of crap is that? Just because they get tipps and the gov does not know how much they get?!

Thats just scary!

I am wondering why waiters get paid so little in the US anyway. In germany for example they might not got LOADS of money, but they get enough to not require 15% or 20% tips to survive! And all the restaurants still make good money, and they are NOT more expensive!
