I live in Australia. If you ask for a tip here you will be fired or told to fuck off.
I live in the US. If you mention a tip in your schpiel, you ain't getting shit.
Otherwise, I move the decimal left once and double, raised to the next fiver.
Good. We shouldn't have to pay employees wages.
And the business owner should ensure secure employment for their staff and provide annual and sick leave, and super.
Exactly. That should always be up to the business if I remember correctly back in the day they used to give less wages to waiters because the owners knew they would get tips
Used to? Many states have a server minimum wage that "assumes" 20% tips 100% of the time. It's completely fucked.
Currently the minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 which the employer pays if the employee tips bring them to minimum wage. If not they're supposed to make up the difference.
Varies by state of course. Example: Colorado, the tipped employee minimum wage is $10.63.

Jesus that's not enough, holy
So for a bill of $12.49 you pay $1.249×2 = $2.498 raised to $5?
Or is that the tip?
Yup. Your math is exactly how I determine my tip.
Yeah like a lot of cafes have a tip jar but that is just a place to get rid of shrapnel if you paid in cash
