Tipping does still suck though, and the way it is in many states of the US, slow business literally means employees get paid less, which is pretty fucked.

Australia certainly isn't perfect, and don't let anyone tell you how great Medicare is here because it's not what it uses to be and slowly but surely slipping into private health insurance hell due to its languishing, but heck, defensive much mate?

I am glad that I don't have to deal with tipping. Tipping is trash and seemingly many Americans agree it's trash.
