Now, that doesn't change what you said about hi-end restaurants, but just a minor nit to pick...
Properly picked my friend. If the restaurant has no customers that day. The employee is guaranteed a standard wage. (Differs but restaurant owner.)
That said, they would still rather have the tips than the wage.
How interesting it is that in most of Europe, it is "service compris", yet here the bottom of the bill suggests 18%, 20%, 22% tip with the tax already added too.
