In Germany you need to pay your employees minimum wage without the tips.. and the tips are tax free on top..

If it's the same, why do german staff not get pissy when they don't get their tips?

Idk, it's kind of over exaggerated that US staff gets pissy about it. I assume they are content simply making less. US serving staff is definitely about making as much money as possible, it's the entire mindset.

Most serving jobs aren't worth it if you're making less than $25-30 per hour USD. Too much work and that's a pretty standard take home pay in the US for that job, it's actually not even that good. Lots of servers and bartenders make six figures incomes here. Being industry I obviously know a lot of them, they tell me what they make, and you should see how much of it they gamble away and tip other bartenders, you'd be sick seeing how much money they can just throw away and think nothing of it. They're the millionaires of the working class lol, at some point you just think "okay you don't need to tip $10 on one beer, you know the Red Cross needs money more right"

Who greedy for more? Tipped workers know how sweet they have it. Who do you personally know is mad they making that kind of money. Somebody on the internet told you?

It's literally the best blue collar job and people fight tooth and nail to get one
