I’m so lost on how to tip anymore. I remember back when 12% pre-tax was considered a really good tip, but now the kiosks recommend 20-25% (which is usually ON TOP of tax).
I already don’t tip anywhere I’m not sitting down with service, but 20-25% is crazy when I’m just trying to get fed.
Tipping should be a 0%+ thing
Absolutely agree, I’ve been studying in Europe for the past few months and one of the best parts about going out to eat is having the price on the menu be exactly what you pay. No one expects you to tip. We should be including taxes in prices as well.
I grew up in Canada but now live in Asia. I dread, absolutely dread going to any country where ‘tipping’ is normal. Why do we have to pay someone to do their job? The price should be the price on the menu.
I would travel to any country in Asia that doesn’t have tipping rather than go back to Vancouver to pay $12 for a beer and be expected to tip for someone taking a bottle of beer from the fridge. I could never move back to Canada. /rant over.
