Also in the US tips are expected, whereas in Europe they are not (although they
are generally accepted). I couldn’t find any info on the relative amounts made
in tips, but they are not included in wage comparisons.

| (...) Waiters earn tips, and generally earn less than 5.15 due to this. Cashiers at Burger King, Book shelvers at a University Library, and such menial jobs earn no tips and recieve 5.15 minus taxes for their labor. (18 years ago, 27-Mar-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
