Uhm... here in belgium they make as much/less as any shopclerk, factory worker, etc. Service and taxes are included in the bill and from that bill their boss gives them an hourly wage.
You tip the guy that placed the seats in your car at the factory or the girl that did the wrapper around your candybar?
Don't get me wrong I do tip, if the service has been good. But never 15%. Depending on the bill. Mostly just round it up to the next multitude of 5.
