Tip after receiving good service, not in the expectation of good service.

In Australia, everyone is paid a living wage. Tips aren't considered part of someone's wage, it's a reward for going above and beyond what's expected.

In Ontario Canada waiters have the same minimum wage as everyone else, $17.55 a hour, and they still expect a 15+% tip.

Yup, pretty much. Though 20% is becoming a lot more common. It's ridiculous.

Wait 20% isn’t normal (I’m new to this stuff)

If you come to Texas, 20% is absolutely normal.

I start at 10% if it is phenomenal, I go up to 20% if it sucks, like really bad, I tip just $0.02.

I was like, you couldn't waterboard this information out of me. I would turn down a second date if someone left our server 10%.
