I am annoyed at this issue. Especially when buying to go. I bought shelf items and found myself facing the tip thing, the women behind the counter saw my annoyed expression and was so quick to press "no tip" (for me). . During COVID this was a way to sort of help out the stores. But tip-flation has just grown out of control and is quickly becoming a custom, to the point that I simply don't go to certain stores because I don't want to pay $14 for a latte and slice of banana loaf (including tip). . . At a Thai restaurant I got a fantastic meal (at a good price of about $12). I ordered a beer and an ice cream (price not listed). They gave me a mini tub of ice cream that was a bit too much for me. The beer price was not listed but when the bill arrived I notice the beer was $13 (more than the meal) and the ice cream was a whopping $40. What started as a budgeted $20 meal landed up being $65 plus tax AND they expected me to pay a tip on top of all that(I paid $0 tip).

The excuses for people now being expected to leave 20% or more make me wonder what happened to basic math skills in this country. I've heard arguments that since the cost of living has increased, then the tip percentage should increase.

Another thing that drives me crazy in the USA is that the price on the label is not the final price. In Europe that would be a rip-off, as it is obligatory that prices include ALL taxes and fees. My son is now working in the USA and he told me something that had happened to him that I only thought happened in the Third World, while travelling with his girlfriend through Texas he had a tyre blowout, he says it was because of the heat and that in that area of ​​the highway there were a lot of tyre remains, after a few minutes a police car approached and offered to help them change the tyre and said that later if they wanted they could give him a tip... he helped them change the tyre and my son gave him 20 dollars and the policeman happily accepted it, then he took them to a place to put a new tyre on, there were several cars there with the same problem and the owner of the shop gave the policeman more money for bringing him a client... my son has worked in several underdeveloped countries and understands that there a policeman or a civil servant has to earn a little extra money, but in the USA...

In Europe (you know where everything is expensive), I get homemade food for the same amount or less taking exchange into account. And there is no need to tip, although I usually do. Ever wonder why the first thing they ask you is "what would you like to drink"? Drinks...there is a huge money maker and even though it is taxed by the government, they tax you another HST on top of it.

A tip is a gratuity which depends on how you were served. It's not a salary. As well, if food prices go up, my tip goes down.

[@Triggrrr]

I like tipping. I feel fortunate that I can afford to do so

[@boyguapito1]

*Where/Who to tip:* _Bartender/Mixologist, Servers AND Baristas who make YOUR complicated orders, DoorDash delivery drivers and hairstylists for the service only._ *Where/Who NOT to tip:* _Mechanics, retail employees for purchases of general goods, picking up food for delivery if You’re picking it yourself, anything else that does not require any customized preparation._ *How much to tip:* _20% for good service., 25% and above for excellent service._

[@mealways1270]

Why to tip bartenders, waitrers? I'm doing more important job- taking care, cleaning incontinent elder, basically your grand or grandgrand parents. Did you tip any of care workers ?

[@coinbowl]

20%? Make it 1.00%!

[@Ganito55]

Oh wow, isn't tip a personal thing. You give extra money aside from the product or service you received. It's a personal thing.

[@linhluong9250]

Before 10% is already bad enough, now everywhere you go is 15%-30%. What is Canada coming to?

[@tianxiaozhang]

America...

[@julielevesque2668]

If I sit in your restaurant and have you refill my water, my drink, clear my plate, bring me utensils, bring me ketchup...keep checking on me, I used your hydro and bathroom...I will tip but on the go...oh hell no. To Go is ridiculous...I took public transit or walked to get my order and bringing it home myself. I didn't sit in your establishment, I was there for a total of 4 minutes. A delivery to my place yes I tip. My hairdresser I tip. I will not tip for anything else.

[@lawliman3000]

Canadian are definitely bad in Maths, it’s unnecessary to increase the tips percentage . The inflation itself raise the final amount of spending that increase the tips as well. Just like the government spending, it’s not acceptable to say their spending is increased because of inflation because the inflation let the government receive more tax as well

[@franklinfleming1237]

Only tip for good service.

[@voxer99]

The businesses are allowing/encouraging their employees to panhandle and guilt the customer into giving money. They are shameless.

[@user-hg4py3in3p]

I never order takeout and avoid chain dineries. If I'm expected to tip, i will, but getting the whole range of service for my money.

[@lawoman608]

I usually guilt tipping, but I am going to think twice now. I will also just avoid purchasing coffee/pastry/ sandwiches to go all together.

[@paulbelisle7213]

Was at country style donut yesterday to get a coffee and donut …. And paid 18% tip lol. Wont be going back.

[@darrenthompsett5578]

At the end him saying if you can't afford a tip you shouldn't buy it in the first place what the hell crap is that I can afford a coffee but not the extra for a tip through the week so I shouldn't by the coffee bullshit I don't get tips for doing my job and I used to work in restaurants when I was younger and guess what if it didn't pay enough I found another job never relied on tips that to me is the irresponsible thing to do

[@cleigh3796]

Exactly! If you can't tip your doctor, you shouldn't see the doctor! If you can't tip your bus driver, you shouldn't take the bus! If you can't tip your cashier, you shouldn't be buying groceries, shoes, etc.

[@RatCrapper2]

do they pay income tax on tips?

[@honestopinion6711]

better work for that tip boy lol

[@Sirrak]

i stop tipping a long time ago. if the service is good, i'll keep coming back

[@wholeshebang1]

Cheapskate! The staff probably groan in disappointment when you walk in.

[@Whiterabbit-b6t]

We stopped going to restaurants because of the high tips they expect. It is silly.

[@connieh.4212]

Restaurant workers don’t know that higher tips means less customers, therefore lower tips. I don’t wanna pay your creeping tips so I am not eating at restaurants anymore.

[@cantfindausernamedam]

ANY ammount is too much. Tipping is a poor practice. Horrible employers that try to say its part of the employee income.

[@ItsNITREX]

I was asked for a tip at Canadian Tire the other day for scanning one item 😂

[@MG-zo6nq]

Tiping is a very confusing dine in perfect pick up purchases minimal if at all living wage best solution

[@KS-qy5lt]

No wonder I started going to restaurants with robot servers, do takeouts, doordash (similar price to a dine-in anyways)….

[@NerdoftheGames]

It's not my job to supplement people's income. It's the employer's job to pay a decent wage. The tipping is waaayyy out of control.

[@enrillor1027]

Unless tipping is mandatory by law, I will not tip, regardless of the way employees might look at me.

[@bobbiehart39]

I have only ever carried cash and have never owned a cellphone, pay a tip for anything other than a haircut or a full sit down restaurant meal ??? what are you, insane ??? the name is Tucker, not sucker

[@owenmclain3327]

I pay in cash , and always 10% before taxes. What others want to hand out is none of my concern.

[@mobilemcsmarty1466]

it's time to go back to $zero. those ridiculous big blue buttons pressure you. recognize that being pressured is being bullied. a powerful strike to the nose is the proper answer to a bully who pushes you for your lunch money. what is that strike at your next checkout stand? it's the tiny "no/0% tip" text. use it and use it mercilessly for being abused like this for your money, time, and nerves 😕 you can still be cool. just even ask the checker to press $zero for you after they ask the "quick question" while you take a humorous pause before saying "..it'll be cash." you then put whatever you want in the tip jar (I suggest something) without having to advertise what the amount actually is. this has been a satisfying way to do whatever you think appropriate while bypassing this deplorable system 😎

[@Home_Run_Kid72]

Or employers can pay their employees instead of forcing the customer to make up the difference

[@wegder]

I refuse to give my business to any company that relies on tips to pay the employees.

[@TalwinderDhillonTravels]

If you have extra money or you love the service, go ahead and tip. If you can’t afford to tip, then don’t 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@shelleyfortier3094]

No you don’t!! Have to Tip!!

[@yaughl]

Employers, pay your staff! Expecting customers to subsidize staff wages on top of the bill just exposes an employer as a scumbag who financially abuses their staff.

[@a.c.e.7568]

I think bars/restaurants should pay their servers minimum wage and just up their prices, then nobody would come because eating out now especially is ridiculously expensive. From what I heard/read, servers get a lower salary than minimum wage and make up the rest in tips. True or not, I don't know. Excuse me, since when do I become the employer? In fact why call it a TIP; might as well call it a salary.

[@jasonlee4655]

If im coming to you to just pick up what i ordered, no i am not gonna tip. Living salary of employees is responsibility of the owner.
