      …is this really going to be a weekly article feature for the next 80 years?

      You’re frustrated, I’m frustrated, journalists are frustrated… tip or don’t tip. Nobody’s come after me and run me through with a sword any time I haven’t or tipped less. At this rate I’m more annoyed by these articles constantly cropping up.

      People need to stop acting so absurdly powerless. Have some courage and stop tipping if it’s a problem to you and don’t wait for someone to eliminate it for you, effectively doing whatever social dirty work you believe exists. A tip is, and always has been, a thank you (barring mandatory gratuities for limited instances, which is absurd).

      That’s easy. Just don’t tip.

      I still tip for table service at a restaurant and personal services like haircuts. But I will never tip for counter service or take out. And I never tip more than 15%.

      Just adopt Australia work place rights, laws, and guidance, it’s so much more competently put together and more or less has allows for a system where the only tips are in extraordinary restaurants for which the service is above and beyond your local and delivery services experience

      I stopped tipping when my local beer store started prompting me for tips when I went grabbed it off the shelf, walked to the register, and then placed it on the counter. Why in the ever living fuck would I give a tip when there was zero service involved.

      When the wage paid is not a tipped wage or tip credit wage, I don’t tip unless its great service. Generally its basic or sub par.

      I saw a donut shop operating from the owner“s garage in his home in Whitby Ontario charging tip from 18% to 25% and I laughed lol. The 6 donut was $25 and they want to charge tip for you to take it out from a garage lol.

      Ban tipping culture. Grovelling for tips is demeaning. Dignity. Just do your job like workers do where there are no tips. Workers who believe in tipping are the ones who under declare their tips when it comes to tax time— that is the only benefit of tipping culture.

      I live in the Nordics and nobody tips. Pay a living wage and be done with it.

      In my opinion you get a tip based on service and no more than 15%. With how the service industry has gone downhill since like 2018 I barely make it to 10% in most places. I dont blame the servers but more the management. Less workers, inferior products, and the expectation of tips all comes Into account. If I get asked to tip and the middle button is 20% that’s an automatic 10% tip.. like frigoff.. should be 10% , 15% and 18% options not 15% 20% 25%

      Also if I have to pay before I taste my food, no tip.

      Back then, 5% didn’t mind doing it. Now the minimum is 18% on machines? Like wtf. They better actually go above and beyond for that damn tip.

      It is getting out of hand imo, especially because eating out has gotten at least 30% more expensive and that’s no fault of restaurant owners. To pay $20 for a glass of wine when a bottle costs $18 and then to expect a 20% tip on top of that is beyond ridiculous.

      Because of this Covid era ridiculous tipping culture-particularly every payment machine asking for tips for people who cash you out- almost everyone I know is sick of it, talks about stopping all tipping but for now are tipping less. Many I know went from 20-25% at restaurants/hair cuts etc to 15% and now 10-12%. It is NOT our job to pay your staff

      Every business with a card machine is asking for a tip.

      The programmed tip percentages have inexplicably creeped upward, even if cost of menu items has gone up. Where 15% used to be customary for a good service, now machine are asking for 18-25%. This is calculated on top of taxes by default.

      Back in 2016, there was a Canadian study that showed servers, on average, are earning $30 per hour. This was before the server wage was removed in Ontario. Servers are likely earning even more than that today.

      It’s gotten out of hand.

      The 1/3 of Canadians that don’t want to abolish tipping culture comprise employees whose income is substantially tip based, employees who don’t want to report their tips as income for taxation, and employers who don’t want to pay living wages.

      It’s ridiculous that the service industry can have a loophole from minimal wage.

      I did a catering order recently and tipped 10% as it was a large order. Only later did I notice on the bill they had already charged me a 7.5% „service fee.“ Just shocking grift, honestly, even if you do tip.
