Hello, Arelor!

Replying to a message of Arelor to Digimaus:

Definitely,  It's like how wait staff gets paid USD $2.13 an hour.  Hoowever,
here in Tennessee, that law states that wait staff has to make $7.50 an hour so
if a waitress, for example, doesn't make $7.50 an hour combined with tips during
a shift, the restaurant owner must pay the difference so it goes up to
$7.50/hour.

Yes and no.  I only tip in certain situations and when I felt the service was
worth the tip.

Tipping here in the US drives my European friends nuts so when they visit, they
ask me if I should tip or not and if so, how much.
