@Skybird,

That is how it is done here in the state. I was a mechanic for Goodyear and I had a base pay of $200.00/week. The rest was commission pay. There are a lot of jobs here in the US that run the same gambit with base pay and commission. The only difference is the waiter gets a 'tip' instead of a commission. As a mechanic I got my commission on the work performed. My tip was having the customer come back for additional work, work on another vehicle of theirs or they told a friend. It paid for me to fix it right the first time on time. It pays for the waiter to serve it the first time on time and with a smile. Simple as that. If I screwed his car up it was very possible he got refunded and I got docked the pay for the work. Same with a waiter. He/she screws it up they get docked their tip.
