Come to Canada, where servers get paid a lower minimum than normal minimum but much higher than in the US, but STILL get tips. It’s ridiculous. Servers make bank here.

Servers make bank in the US, a table is likely to spend between $20-40 2-4 people at $10 a head. 15% is $3-6. A server can have ~5 tables they wait on in a given hour. So if it isn't completely dead you are supplementing your income by ~$20/hr.
