It's a much more civilized system than expecting servers to jockey for the charity of strangers. You still can tip, but when you do so it's more in line with the whole point of the system, to express gratitude for good service, rather than an expectation in order to keep your servers alive. I was actually surprised when I ordered pizza my first day in America and the website made a point to remind me that I need to tip.
Your system is better than ours. Lol. Minimum wage isn't enough to survive on here let alone a server's salary. I think delivery drivers make around $5 an hour. I can't imagine how they have any money left over after gas if they don't get tips.
