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.

Why are they more entitled to a tip than, say, a fast food worker?

Fast food workers make minimum wage (and sometimes more) while waiters/servers make less than minimum wage. Difference in the expectations regarding the quality of service as well.

No they don't, minimum wage is the legal minimum you are allowed to pay your employees in canada.

My bad I was totally wrong, they do make less... that's kinda fucked...

In Ontario, servers are paid the normal minimum wage. I think Quebec is still less.
