I live in Australia, our employers pay people for the work that they do for them rather than what is effectively free labor. If it's a particularly good experience, though, I'll tip.

Basic pay (per area) around the cost of living (so it's higher in places where rent is higher etc) + a % of profits the company/store etc makes split between all employees.

I wish I had the time to address just how awful an idea this is beyond the obvious surface issues.

What should be done, both in restraunts etc, is the place should charge a flat 10% of the bill in "service fees" so the actual bill is 10% higher, and that should be split equally among ALL staff working at the time. Main problem is that cash tips will likely still go poof and not be shared equally (maybe if cameras were used or something? Shrug).

This one's not so bad.
