All I remember seeing is $2.xx per hour... WOW! That's slave labor. Now I know why you think foreigners under tip :
in Canada, a tip is a way of thanking the staff for doing good service and is in no way required. It is assumed that the restaurant will pay its waiters properly. I had no idea that in the US restaurants make it the client's responsibility to pay the waiters. I now think that a 30% tip is way too little if the tips are almost the waiters whole wage... and he has to pay for health care too.
ps : I tip 20-30% to show gratitude and not because I have to.
