I'd not call them shit wages. Tipping optional

FYI 17,29 AUD = $17.34 CAD $13.69 USD

"The minimum wage in Australia is $17.29 per hour, so the obligation to

impacted Australian attitudes towards giving and expecting tips. There
are no circumstances where a tip is obligatory, but in service
industries it is always appreciated."
