that's great and all but the standard of living there is so high it doesn't translate. It's one of the most expensive places to live in the world.
Not sure if it's similar across Western Europe but I was in the Netherlands this past summer and neither their waiters nor taxi cab drivers expect tips because they have a fairly high minimum wage. Nothing like $25, but certainly somewhere about 11 euros an hour I think someone said, which obviously is a higher number in dollars.

Especially since I get scalped on my weed I didn't know any dealers here in the Midwest and so the guy who lives a couple of floors above me constantly rips me off when he sells it to me as a middle man. It's kind of refreshing in a way... I'm tired of the dealers who you have to smoke a ceremonial bowl with and listen to their shitty pink Floyd or bob Dylan for a hour.

The cost of living in Switzerland is about what it is in the Bay Area where I live. 25 bucks is way too much for minimum wage. But then this is Europe we are talking about.
