A few regional differences: My family says "appetizer" rather than "starter."
In this area, a 20% (minimum) tip is customary. "Tip jobs" have a lower minimum wage, so servers don't get the minimum wage of $21/hour. Servers usually get $2.13/hour from the restaurant, and taxes often take their whole paychecks. Some restaurants require servers to pay some of their tips to bussers, "expo," (a person who doublechecks the order and arranges the food in a pretty way) and bartenders.

In the conversation at the end of the video, native speakers in this area say, "chicken sandwich" rather than chicken burger. We'd probably say we like tacos or a taco if there's only one.
