Your salary is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY. It's your employeers.
No need to tip. It’s the employers responsibility to make their employees paid happily.
.... good service = tips
I'm not your employer, I do not tip.
Lol no its the employers responsibility to make money.
@@franklinfleming1237good service is to be expected. It's the default.
@@NoirRaven not true.
I never tip. I'm not your employer.
I’ll tip if I feel like it but I don’t feel bad if I don’t
I don’t think their underpaid, especially with the new higher minimum wages. Everyone who isn’t street homeless seems to have money for dumbshit. These are just spoiled bratty workers who are saying “gimmie, gimmie”.
There’s no tipping in Japan and the customer service here, even at a convenient store, is so much better than service sector in North America. Tipping is bull crap!
Different social expectations. They do what's good for the collective at the expense of the individual.
An example of “we” culture is Japan.
An example of “me” culture is white anglo saxon protestants.
Me vs we culture
Here's a pro tip, you don't have to tip, ever, completely legal
This entire conversation their having is, "workers are being underpaid. Yet throughout this entire video, it is never expressed that companies should be paying their employes better, then relying solely on the customers to cover their employe wages."
This video is an example of state-run media trying to control the boundaries of the conversation. I suspect it's because the government exists to serve the interests of the rich, and having higher wages and no tipping culture would cost the bourgeoisie more. So they don't present that as an option, instead they distract us.
I believe they addressed it with the owner who both abolished tipping at his establishment and expressed that he believes he should be paying his employees.
No one is being underpaid. Everyone who isn’t street homeless has tons of cash for dumb stuff and luxuries. I feel no sympathy for these spoiled bratty workers. I advocate for people to never tip and not to go out to eat continuously. Community is too deranged and entitled at this point.
You may go to anti-tipping restaurants more often.
Tips are supposed to be a reward for service, not a paycheck - it's gotten out of hand - one way for customers to reverse this trend is to tip less, not more - employers will have to pickup the difference to retain staff - if you agree, stop tipping and reserve it only for exceptional service at say 10%
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).
It used to be assumed that to-go purchases don't deserve tips... they're not waiting on you, you're waiting on them. PS That's a somewhat shocking icecream story...
Always ask the price if it's not listed.
What the heck. If they did not hand make that ice cream with the finest materials and designer flavour, I would not pay $40 for that.
@@connieh.4212 I feel like the biggest shmo on earth when handed that bill. There was Ice cream left in the tub ...well I took the tub home with me. But thanks for rubbing it in.😃
Is your responsibility to ask for prices BEFORE ordering anything.
For decades the accepted tip was always 10%. And it was done almost surreptitiously, leave some cash for your server under a saucer so they weren’t embarrassed. A percentage on the inflated meal cost is still a percentage; it’s more money. I refuse to subsidize greedy restaurant owners who won’t pay their staff properly or be shamed into paying more by a look from a server. Boycott those establishments!
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. Also, I heard that if you have a large group of people, then you should tip a higher percentage since it's more work for the waiter/waitress. Do that many people really not understand how percentages work.
Many places add a service fee for "large groups", which is NOT a tip, but replaces the tip for the servers, at the discretion of the employer. Never tio on top of service fees.
The tip is always optiomal, the service fee is not.
I have an idea, why dont we just pay people enough to live and skip the tips???
Canada has minimum wage, lots of people earning minimum wage don’t get any tips
@funlo8627 same in US. Anyone in a US state with min wage (most) make at least the same min wage whether tipped or not. Tips are always optional. That's the whole point.
You completely lost me when you talked about minimum wage being a reason we should tip. It is not my responsibility to subsidize employers who are underpaying staff.
maybe they need to get another job that is not minimum wage
Many people in min wage jobs make $50,000 or more in tips annually.
No need to tip. The customer is supporting the restaurant business, and they expect the customer to tip? The restaurant should be tipping the customer for coming in to support the restaurant business.
The problem is that now it's creeping into other things that doesn't require tipping like takeout. People get offended that you don't tip when taking food to go or even in food courts where not big corporations but not local restaurants would pressure you to tip.
Employers need to start paying their employees a living wage!!!!!!
Tips should be banned
I agree the minimum wage needs to go up
@@funlo8627 I agree! why do we need to pay when they're just doing their job? Their boss should be responsible.
Office workers, garbage collectors, doctors, dentist, dry cleaners, service station attendants, mechanics, grocery store clerks, pharmacists, every store c.erk in 3very store you make a purchase from????? Where does it stop! This is insane! The people benefitting are the employers who are getting richer and richer while the average person is struggling to make e ds meet topping off the pay chequered for the well to do employer NO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Tip nothing. It's the business owner's job to put the proper cost of wages into food prices without playing this psychological manipulation game with customers. Tipping is nothing more than an excuse to under pay employees and no poor people shouldn't eat out less just because they can't afford tips. That not how contract law works nor how fair negotiations work.
All true. Plus, consider that a restaurant makes far more profit on repeat customers than on big tippers.
I dont live in a country that tips but i’d say “sorry, im not rich, i cant leave a tip everywhere i go. Im not your boss, i cant pay your salary.”
No apology necessary. All tips are optional.
Consumers should tip based on the quality of the services received. Putting food in a bag for takeout - is that really a service? Most consumers seem to be more than happy to tip when they receive very good or excellent services. Anything less, thenn tips should not be expected by the person providing the service. A tip should not be "expected" - it needs to be earned, in my opinion.
Maybe consumers need to start boycotting some of these places.
I'm implementing an immediate 'no tip' policy. Stop this nonsense.
I always shop and never tip lol or annoy them with a coin the traditional tip
In this economy, us choosing to spend are money in your establishment is us supporting your business and staff. Without customers, corners get cut, your staff gets laid off and you go out of business. Don’t add expecting a tip to the pile. We will either make it ourselves at home or find somewhere else where we aren’t expected to tip.
High prices and a tip on top of that or even higher prices and no tip?
Sorry; I understand the dilemma but my wages haven't gone up so I can't afford either option. I stay home and cook.
That's how I solved it, too. I simply stopped going out to eat. I buy any high-end ingredient that I want, and I cook far better food at home then I've gotten in a restaurant the last 5 years. The service is always excellent as well lol.
When I was in Thailand recently the tip for some restaurants was already included in the bill. Service fee or something like that.
Some people earn less than the person who is working in the restaurant. If customer is happy with the service they can appreciate with a tip, which should be shared with the whole team. Tipping before service is offered doesn’t make sense to me.
I used to deliver customer prescriptions for a Shoppers Drugs Mart in my youth. Never once got a tip for delivering potentially life saving medication yet it's customary to tip food delivery people. I didn't care either way, easiest job I ever had but it highlighted to me how weird tipping culture and etiquette is.
You may not have seen a tip, but the pharmacy makes out like bandits on the prescription fees.
@@owenmclain3327 Vast majority of the customers I delivered to were seniors. The provincial government covers most of the cost of all prescriptions and fees. Seniors pay between $2 and $6 per prescription. Also very common for pharmacies to waive the fee since it's so low. They make their money on everyone else and everything else in the stores.... prices are exorbitant even compared to the nice supermarkets.
I never tip tattoo artists. They are contractors, you agree on a price and pay it.
I’m more worried that at fast food places, the tip I give digitally wont actually go to the works fairly. How do I know that most or all of the tip wont just go to the boss?
100%
NO MORE TIPPING.
No more being a cheapskate.
It's getting insane!!!!!!!!!! even the liquor stores are expecting tips now!! WTF??? I would normally tip 10% on takeouts or a nice coffee IF that staff were really nice & friendly to me..... 15% at casual places like Boston Pizza and 18% at The Keg simply because of the levels of attention/service... but honestly 18% is a bit much..... but down south, the Americans are all doing/expecting it!!!
Waitress in Pennsylvania told me she makes $2.82 per hour + tips ,here in canada minimum wage is alot higher
That's a shockingly low wage! Thirty years ago, I was surprised that American bartenders and servers made that little (which was half of minimum wage then), so I can't believe it hasn't changed in over 3 decades. No wonder there's such poverty Stateside.
In California and a handful of other states, servers and bartenders make the state mandated minimum wage (these are often higher than the federally mandated minimum wage). In CA, the minimum wage is $15.50 USD per hour.
What happened to tipping based on performance? Companies are asking for tips before you receive the service in some cases.
In Taiwan, many restaurants include 10% tips in the bill, and the policy was written on the menu. If you are disagree with the policy, just leave, no pressure at all.
Servers don't report taxes
@Olya - Many do.
You should cover the fact that Square itself is driving the tipping mania by those square terminals being everywhere and they have a mandatory tipping screen in the set up menu.
My mother's on a limited pension in Ontario her Landlord says he provides her with a service and wants a tip from her monthly.
Mom is to received a new lease soon and is scared he will add tipping to her lease on top of rent.Wich she has not signed ) because he says to her, he expects a 18% gratuity every month for all the work he provides her. (On top of her rental payments.)
Mom has called landlord and tenant board because she says this is unfair and unlawful.
They too say it's unlawful, but asked, do you at least give landlord a gift every Christmas??? WTf??
Why ask that????
Tipping HAS gotten too out of control.
In Ontario servers make $15.50 - $16.50 per hour.. and they still expect tips at take out and self serve places..
These big corporations need to pay staff living wages, however pensioners never get rate increases but get treated horribly when we don't tip or tip lower than 20%
Tipping has to stop.. it will get to the point where ONLY 50% tip will be acceptable
This tipping issue so funny to me as someone originally not from North America. Why kind of capitalist psychological manipulation and blackmail is this whole thing?😂😂😂
Corporations using psychological manipulation and blackmail to maximize their profits is the norm here, welcome to North America.
I tip for table service at restaurants, for food delivery, for haircuts, for cabs/ubers/etc, but not for all the self-serve stuff that we are being asked to tip for lately. On that note, some self-checkouts are now asking for tips, which is beyond ridiculous.
For delivery with Skip or Door Dash.... always be generous tipping 15% for the driver.... simply because you just don't want any unwanted 'extra stuff' in your food.... don't be naive and think that stapled packages must be 100% safe and most bags aren't stapled anyway...... !!
It's definitely gotten out of control. I'm old school, typically tips were only given out at actual restaurants where the staff would give you a menu and wait on you - i.e. full service. I don't mind leaving a small tip of around 5% at coffee shops or fast food where it is not full service but expectations have gotten out of hand. Just the other day I ordered out pizza on half price Tuesday but they tried to base their tip on the full regular price plus tax plus delivery fee! I simply went to "custom tip" and calculated what 15% would be on the discounted price before taxes or delivery fees.
Rather than doing any math, which is a scam, just leave a tip that shows your appreciation of any extra service you received. Percentage of the order is silly, unrelated to quality of service. Feel free to tip 0.00 because it is always an option. Any tipped min wage employee is still making at least the same as a non-tipped, even if nobody tips.
I bought a to go meal that took a minute or two to make and the guy had the nerve to get mad (and I put a dollar in the tip jar) but he was mad that I skipped the tip option with my debit card
Was at a mall food court. Noticing more people eating hot dogs & french fries. Why? That business skips the tip option & provides exceptional service.
@Hi! T! - Or, people like to eat junk food.
True. Customers, including myself, told them we will eat here more often because every other food court business is asking for 15-20% for a tip.
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.
I like tipping. I feel fortunate that I can afford to do so
I went on a Gray Line bus tour around Montreal during which the elderly gentleman guide, who was very knowledgeable about his home city, added that rents in the city were particularly cheap compared with other cities in the country. At the end of the tour he reminded us that tipping was customary in Canada & he depended on it as part of his salary. It seems odd to me that we tourists from poorer parts of the world should subsidise people in one of the richest nations. It's a con & a ripoff.
15% is a fair number I believe. I ordered 28 dollars worth of food tipped the driver 4 dollars and 50 cents which is 15%. There’s times I don’t tip though and I don’t feel bad about it. It’s optional not mandatory so don’t feel bad.
Tips as a percentage are illogical. You tip on extra service. The cost of what you bought already included service.
Do not forget to tip your delivery drivers but you do not need to tip at subway which did not have any extra service at all.
When at T. Hortonns I put money in the T. Hortons in their camp box (my daughter went and it was awesome for her) and Ionly tip for service to table in restaurants, taxi drivers and to delivery persons.. In Quebec, tips must be declared and reported to gov, not a great idea for extra $
Is it true that if Im no tiping the workers have to pay?
good well thought out story, thanks for taking a good look at a lot of the factors at play when considering tipping! I know I learned quite a few good points from this!
I usually use this rule when tipping. If I'm dining out, then I tip 15-18%. If I'm taking out, no tip. If I'm taking an Uber, 0-3$ tip depending on the comfortability of the ride. For other services, no tip.
No tip for hair dressers?
@@KS-qy5lttipping a barber???
@@KS-qy5lt And why should hairdressers get tipped? They already receive a salary from their boss, it has nothing to do with the situation of the waiters.
We pay once and that's it, we're not going to pay twice.
Is that Asian dude out to lunch??? "15% Pre-tax"????? I wish man...... all tipping is expected out of AFTER-tax grand total..... and 15% is considered really cheap now even at Boston Pizza
The businesses are allowing/encouraging their employees to panhandle and guilt the customer into giving money. They are shameless.
Tipping in Canada and North America is becoming more of a cultural thing now. However, there is the only time not to tip. I usually go to my typical Starbucks. When I pay in cash or debit card. They have a tipping option. Since the staffs knows me and always have never had a bad experience of that location. I do give me $1.00 tip minimum. If I order my Starbucks drink through the app; I do not need to tip. One time, I ordered Pizza Hut online and now they are asking to tip before it did not have that option. First of all, I am just grabbing the pizza and I am taking up my own time and gas of the vehicle to get to Pizza Hut for pick up. That is the time I don’t tip. I went to this local Brazilian business that sells this popular tear drop chicken bake called Coxinha. The man deep fried the coxinha, but then he was away from the kitchen hence it was too burned. He said he is going to fried another one for me. It was fined, but when I had a couple bites. The coxinha taste cold from the inside. I had their ball shape chocolate dessert called brigadeiros. I had it many times and the other time I took a bite and it taste dry. This is the time I don’t type. I went to this Vietnamese restaurant to pick up a few food. Why would I tip; if I am not dining at their restaurant and also they live in a big property and drives luxury German cars hence they are beyond rich. Starbucks is a billionaire company that can afford to pay for their employees a better living wage.
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.
Was at country style donut yesterday to get a coffee and donut …. And paid 18% tip lol. Wont be going back.
The rule is very simple... Tipped employees only make a couple dollars an hour and most of their salary is from tips. Like it or not, that's the system and they should not have to work for free. Therefore, if the person is a tipped employee (wait staff), then you tip them. However, if they are NOT a tipped employee (cashiers, hosts, emcees, managers, etc) then they should not be tipped. If they ask for a tip, they are double dipping.
Not in Canada, that's a US thing
@@westbccoast Depends where in Canada you are working. Quebec, for example, has a minimum wage of $15.25 for normal workers and $12.20 for tipped workers. Other provinces have done away with the tipped worker exemption.
Actually, if you don’t tip, the employer is expected to bridge the gap.
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.
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
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.
Tipflation, shrinkflation, inflation the bottom line is you the customer is getting screwed. When will it stop, will it or is this sadly our new norm?
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.
I was asked for a tip at Canadian Tire the other day for scanning one item 😂
Nobody give tips to care workers. Day care, olderly care. Why to tip others for simple job?
do they pay income tax on tips?
That's why i never give my employee a holiday trip to USA as lta benifits ...i dont want my money wasted on tips which is everywhere in USA🎉
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 😎
Before 10% is already bad enough, now everywhere you go is 15%-30%. What is Canada coming to?
America...
How classist is that? Suggesting that you don't go out for dinner if you don'T have enough to tip? I'm on disibility, I live thousands of dollars below the poverty. I can't afford a decent tip, but occasionally I'd like to go out for dinner. Should I be banned from eating out just because I'm poor? I think tipping should be done away with. They don't tip in Europe unless the service and food was excellent, if that. That's what tipping is supposed to be for- excellent service.
I think it's a fair statement that if 15% is going to break the bank for you, consider your priorities. If a sit down restaurant is worth it for you.
I don't know you, or your financial position, but if 15% is the difference between going out or not, maybe pick up some takeout (and don't tip), cook something yummy at home, picnic at the park, or eat out 15% less.
@@gogos1234567890 Spoken like someone who doesn't live thousands of dollars below the poverty. Those servers are better off than I am, so why should I be contributing their salary?
@@gogos1234567890 The problem is not just paying 15% once in a while, the problem is the accumulation, when now anyone believes they are justified in asking for a tip, if for each service we receives, we have to pay 15% each time, at the end of the month it becomes a huge sum that not everyone can afford.
Tipping is not about the $amount. It is recognition for the service provided by the person serving you. Tip well if you're well served. Tip less or none if the service wasn't great. At the end of the day, the service staff should always be appreciated with not just tips. A compliment or a smile also goes a long way.
Tip if you can afford, dont tip if you cant
In theory yes, but the North American industry standard is assuming a 10-25% tip because the staff isn't making a living wage at all.
@@tianxiaozhang if businesses cant afford to pay something as basic as salaries, they clearly shouldnt be open
It is literally their job to serve me. I don't get tips for doing my job.
@@mzmolly139 Good luck in life with your humble attitude.
Tipping is such a scam.... there are SO many service industries that you would never tip for... Do you tip a fireman after they jaws of life you out of your car? Do you tip EMS after they save your grandmother? Do you tip a cop after they charge a rat who broke into your car? Do you tip a soldier who has emotional or physical injuries in service of their country?
Last I checked, "they *_jaws of life_* you" (as you horribly put it) wasn't *a verb.* Good thing there are still lots of low-paying, menial jobs for _uneducated people_ like you.
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.
I don't think so in Ontario $100,000.00 is a minimum wage are you guy's tripping
*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._
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 ?
20%?
Make it 1.00%!
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.
Unless tipping is mandatory by law, I will not tip, regardless of the way employees might look at me.
remember to tip a single coin to show hate ;)
No wonder I started going to restaurants with robot servers, do takeouts, doordash (similar price to a dine-in anyways)….
I pay in cash , and always 10% before taxes.
What others want to hand out is none of my concern.
If it’s an Asian employer. U should tip cuz they don’t get paid well. Usually
This is missing the forest for the trees.
Let’s find out how profitable the restaurants and coffee shops are, and pressure on them to increase wages, rather than making a surprise to the customer at point of aervice
I refuse to give my business to any company that relies on tips to pay the employees.
i stop tipping a long time ago. if the service is good, i'll keep coming back
Cheapskate! The staff probably groan in disappointment when you walk in.
Only tip for good service.
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.
No you don’t!! Have to Tip!!
The whole tipping thing is dumb, I just wont go out and I'll pay nothing at all.
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
If you have extra money or you love the service, go ahead and tip.
If you can’t afford to tip, then don’t 🤷🏽♂️
Or employers can pay their employees instead of forcing the customer to make up the difference
tipflation is pure BS! nowhere does it say an employee at chucky cheeze gets to make $300 / day... its not my responsibility... dont like it?? go back to school... try a trade, or skilled tech.
better work for that tip boy lol
Tiping is a very confusing dine in perfect pick up purchases minimal if at all living wage best solution
It's called carry cash!!
In Asia we don't tip and their service even better.
So, someone that betters themselves, gets a better job should cover someone that is in an entry level job due to whatever reason? No (except restaurants and beauty salon and drivers)
I Manage my spending them, I wont eat or drink at restaurants or Coffee set higher Tips
They forgot to mention that restaurant servers pay4.5-7% of the bill to tip out the kitchen/ bartender.
So if you don’t tip the waiter then theyre paying 4.5-7 % of your bill just to serve you.
Restaurants with bigger bills like steak houses really suffer from this.
This is happens so the restaurant can pay their kitchen staff under 20/h but give a little extra out of the tips the servers make
A tip is a bonus. It’s not like the money is being deducted from their wage.
@@Viewpoint11 it is deducted , You owe 4.5-7 % of your total sales regardless of what you got tipped
Thank you for explaining this people who haven’t worked in a restaurant don’t understand this
@@reneeladouceur I wonder how much berating they would do if they owed 7% of the bill to the restaurant
@@reneeladouceur I feel like if the restaurants increase their prices it’s almost the same as the customer paying the tip.
Only difference is the staff will make less and the restaurant will make the difference
I doubt if the restaurants raises their prices they will pay the staff more that 25/h. Which is the starting point for when you work for tips
I pay cash for everything. That way I don’t get the prompts.
Don't Tip! If they don't like the wages they get go find another job!!!! You don't tip at McD's or Timmies etc... Plus one thing more people don't know is the Cooks hardly get any of the tips so ask to see the cooks and tip them directly!!!!!!
Not the employees fault. It's the damn employers who don't want to pay a living wage!
I don’t even tip the prime minister
Id rather all businesses with thin margins raise their prices instead of having tips. I only eat out, get haircuts, massages, tattoos infrequently (for example) so i dont care if the price is raised to an amount for compensating the "liveable" wage the workers are paid that the business needs to operate.
End tipping in every industry.
Do i tip the tire guy at the tire shop to do his job of changing tires? How about the lady cashier at Safeway? No! They are paid X per hour of their time dxpected to do X job on the work time. Same as waiters and waitresses and tattooers and haircutters and Subway sandwo makers!
Tipping is subsidising employers to pay low wages.
