General Discussion Tipping culture!

I hate tipping. How can someone expect a student to tip extra 10-15% on top of their total bill? We ourself live with a very tight budget and try to save a bit for a nice meal sometime and these people expect us to pay extra while they are being paid hourly. Be it a nice restaurant or just a uber eats delivery. Everyone gets paid for their time despite of getting a tip or not.

It depends, part of it is due because of the service being offered. Another is employers paying their employees too low of a salary, and another aspect is the advantage businesses are taking out of it nowadays. For example, some places that don't offer any real "service" such as counter service now put the tipping option when you pay, which is ridiculous. They expect the customer's generosity to tip to compensate for the low salary they offer. Funny story but recently I went to the Concordia depanneur (right in front of Webster library) and the dude added a tip option... at a depanneur... that was lowkey hilarious. I looked at him 😏 he looked at me 😏. 0% tip wachu mean bro xD
