As far as I understand it a tip here is called "Trinkgeld" and is payed under completly different circumstances.
"Trinkgeld" translates to "Drinking money" and was usualy the money given to young employees and apprentecis who wouldnt earn much during the early stage of their working life.
The "Drinking money" which was given to them after comercial service had (as the name suggests) the purpose of giving them money to spend on alcohol in a pub.
Of course all I know about the American tip is what I learned from a conversation in the movie "Resevoir Dogs"
