I know a couple of Canadians that have been working in Austria (Villach) as bartenders/servers at a fairly high end Pub for years and make nowhere close to that kind of money. I also used to know (couple years back) a German girl who worked in the service industry in Berlin and she also was making nowhere close to what you quoted.
Edit: Just as an aside, these Canadian girls are bloody amazingly good looking (not to mention very nice), so if anyone should be getting good tips it's them.
