Call me a douche all you like but the waiters should do their job exceptionally to get a tip as someone else would do in his work to get a bonus..

In the US there are two minimum wages. When I worked as a server years ago it was $5.50 an hour for the employees who didn't get tipped (busboys, hostesses, etc) and around $2.15 for employees who receive tips. So servers don't leave with nothing at the end of the night but $2.15 an hour definitely doesn't cut it.
