> On busy nights staff might be okay with the lower pay thanks to tips You have absolutely no idea about this topic you're commenting on, do you?

  It might not be applicable to the UK, as someone else pointed out, but this is absolutely the case in the US. On a good night, a server might make several times more than their hourly wages in tips alone. I've known plenty of people that worked as wait staff at a restaurant that liked the tipping system because thanks to tipping their wages were several times higher than minimum wage. Most of them would have rather had a slow night once in a while rather than give up the tipping because of how much they made thanks to tipping.

    Well, sure. But this thread has nothing to do with the US, right?

    > this is absolutely the case in the US How is that relevant to the number of pubs in England and Wales, which is the topic.
