27. Yes, I'm in Canada

And we have a minimum wage...the employer is required to pay the waiter a fair wage, so any tips s/he gets are for extra good service and meant to be gravy to the employee, not a subsidy to the employer.

I can't believe waiters in the US are treated that badly!

If they are, then I can understand them wanting tips...but this is letting the employer get away with paying slave wages.

Sorry, I was unaware this was the practice.
