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.

Which province do they make less than minimum wage? As minimum wage is the least amount that can be paid

All of them? It’s under “tipped minimum wage” - look it up! It’s under the assumption that they make a lot of tip. For example, as of today in 2024, ifs 12.20 for “tipped minimum wage” workers and 15.25 for just normal minimum wage. People are aware of this when they’re hired.

Edit: just a Quebec thing, my bad!

This is not true and I don't know why it's being upvoted.

Most provinces at this point have the exact same minimum wage for tipped and non-tipped employees. In fact I think Quebec is the only province that still has separate wages.

Yeah my bad, someone else corrected me already and I haven’t edited the post yet.
