#NCP
tipping culture in North America, and especially in Canada is out of hand. The last five restaurants I was handed a card reader at to pay my bill presented the following tip options:
18%
20%
25%
I know restaurant servers work hard. I know baristas at quality-driven cafes work hard. But I'm fed up with owners expecting customers to cover a substantial portion of their workers' wages via tips. Fed up.
I am no longer tipping more than 15% for exceptional, first rate service at full service restaurants, and I will no longer tip for take out coffee served from a big batch brewer. I will continue to tip $0.50 to $1 for a hand crafted coffee beverage.
That's it.
