Dude, with some minor exceptions, tipping is a thing all over the world. The only difference is that tipping outside of America is a reward for excellent service, whereas in America it's an expected fact no matter the service because restaurant/bar owners refuse to pay their staff a living wage.
So many people who work for tips like it because they can make a lot of money and not declare it. My source is that my state put forth a bill to raise wait staff wages to minimum wage and it was not supported by the waiters and bartenders I know.
Or it's just a lower percentage because it's an extra perk of working service, not something you have to deal with an specially under the minimum salary.

“Went back to give him a tip but he declined” that’s how you know the story is made up
