Of course in Trump world that will be changing as I think tips have to go to a community pot and get shared by all the staff. Problem then is, the rest of the staff will get classified as working for tips so they don’t have to be paid minimum wage. Overall, all the workers in restaurants will be getting paid less. At least that is my understand as to what the new tax laws on income is probably going to be. I hope I am wrong.

I have lived in Europe too long. Food service workers receive fixed salary and benefits. 15% service charge is included in the price, tipping simply consists of rounding up the bill if the service has been exemplary.
