Exactly that. Waiting wages aren't great here but aren't that low either. If they make an effort I always leave a tip. The better the service, the better the tip. If the service is crap they get nothing but still achieve min. wage or above.

If a tip is compulsory it sort of makes the whole concept of leaving a tip in the first place pointless.
