Yeah, basically the only ones that feel like they have to tip are US citizens… and Canada most probably.
It’s becoming a lot bigger in the UK and it sucks, it’s just built into receipts everywhere which makes it really awkward to decline. It’s ulalso creeping up from the standard 10%.
Even fast food places?
Canada is debatably worse than the US when it comes to tipping. In the US, wait staff are paid less than minimum wage so it makes sense to tip them (even though the system should change), but in Canada they is no such exception and the minimum prompt is 18%.
Also, the other day Subway prompted me to tip…
US Subway store point of sale systems are asking for tips as well now. It’s really off putting. I hope no one starts tipping there, it’s already too expensive for what you get.
No need to feed to the problem with this business practice. I only tip those with occupations that have already required tips prior to the pandemic. It’s like the existing nuclear pacts. No one is allowed to start obtaining nukes if they didn’t have any before!
While Canada has no explicit exception to the minumum wage law, the minimum wage in Canada is still laughable and is absolutely not survivable for how expensive living here is.
Though the solution here is not tipping, which ignores every other customer service and “”“unskilled”“” labour worker that isn’t in food service. It should be raising the minimum wage to a post inflation value that reflects current costs of living, and committing to continuously updating it so it stays even with inflation and rising costs in general (not unheard of, some European countries for example use a formula to calculate every year’s minimum wage based on current inflation and cost of living). Actually, we shouldn’t have a single national minimum wage but one depending on where you live so it reflects your actual survival expenses. Both Vancouver and Vanderhoof enjoy fast food and coffee shops but the employees in the former have a much harder time living in the city they work in than the latter despite doing the same work and making the same contribution to their fellow residents (or if nothing else, they do more work in a larger city with more people while not being able to afford the larger city).
And yeah, Subway’s been doing that for a while, at least in the part of Canada I am.
The US where it is ethical to barely pay your employees
The worst part is that many businesses are introducing this tipping scheme.
The Czech Republic does. Don’t know how common it is in other European countries.
The problems with tipping culture aside, the eyes in this strip are just perfect. I love it.
I don’t tip, ever, even if the service is good. No one tips me at my job regardless how I do it.

What is your daily intake of waiter spit by volume?
I don’t live in the US BTW.
I am sorry, I am not tipping 2$ for people to turn around and get my coffee from a tap.
Tipping waiters will be my final compromise with tipping culture. I never order delivery from app because I refuse to be forced to tip the delivery person after being charged delivery fee and serivce fee. I also do not tip countertop worker.
In Canada they don’t have a “no tip” option any more, instead you have to click $ or % and put in 0. So what I do is I type in 0000 so they hear four inputs and think they’re getting at least 10$ even though i’m not tipping at all.
I feel this so much.
pro tip: 7-11 has self serve coffee
My local UPS store has a tip jar on the counter…
I only tip my waiters and my landlords.
Always remember to tip your landlords, the most exploited class in society.
In fact, what are you doing living in their house? What, just because you’re paying for it? Are you trying to forcibly evict them from their private property?! You housing-addicted loser.
Holy shit, downvoted it, they weren’t being ironic about tipping their landlord 😳
