Chris, We all get what you are saying!
However, dare I say you miss a point?
The one benefit I see for the shop owner, and the rip off of the worker as compared to the Aussie is this:
What if no customers come in that day?
The tip which makes up the "guaranteed" portion you talk of is not forthcoming I presume.
Where as in australia, the waiter gets paid when working even if no customers are served today.
I can see good and bad in both systems.
Unfortunately, it appears to me that most respondents to this thread fail to see the issue from any other point of view other than their own.
(see my signature).
As A post script, and I am surprised no one has done sufficient research to make this point, (to get back on topic):
The general consensus was that the police officer was acting outside the law (ignorantly) and that the charges would not stand up in a court of law. seems gratuity still means gratuity after all.
