  1. In German restaurants, you usually get water for free if you ask for tap water (no carafe or ice cubes). From a restaurant owner's point of view, however, a glass of tap water incurs the same personnel costs as sold water, because the glass has to be washed and the water served. In a restaurant, not only the food and drinks are paid for, but also the service. The service in German restaurants is not financed by tips, the waiter usually* receives a decent salary including health insurance, etc. *Students can work part-time without social insurance, but not full-time, max. 20 hours a week.
