In Canada the tip rate is lower, usually 10-15% I've found. But the minimum wage for waitresses is higher.
As for deserving tips, I am of mixed minds as I use to work places like that, but in the kitchen. Most of the places I worked, the waitresses made 3-10 times as much as we did due to tips (which in most places I worked, were not shared at all), and I would say that our work was harder then theirs.
Breakfast shift does suck though.
