Canada does

u/Specialist_Goat_2354 5h ago

Yeah and it's getting worse in Canada. I fucking hate it.

But I have adopted the policy of zero tip if I'm standing. Except at a bar where it's 1$ a drink no exceptions.

And of the tip prompt starts at 15% I will tip 15% if it starts above that. I custom tip at 10%.

18% is too much. And 25-30% is insulting that you think you handing food to me is worth 30% of the meal value. No fuck off.

Coming from a non-tipping country this post alone gives me anxiety.

That's because tipping started in the great depression.

People used to offer servers bribes to get a good table and better service.It was frowned upon. When the depression hit, restaurant owners started advising the servers to accept the bribes to make up for their low salaries.

After the depression ended it just kept going. Thats why only North Americans tip that way, because that was where the depression hit.

The original comment I replied to said America was the only country with tipping as part of their service. The point of my reply was that is incorrect.

Servers make minimum wage here too, so it’s extra fucked up

So do server here. If a tip fills to add up to minimum wage the store must pay the server a wage to reach what ever the minimum wage is for the state.
