Canada's tipping culture has become a hot topic of debate again and again in the past two years. Now the whole country is directly out of control, and even places that did not have tips in the past have begun to collect, making everyone more and more angry.
Recently, quite a few Canadians have said they are tired of the current tipping system.
Bruce Thornhill, a citizen interviewed by **, bluntly said that now Canada's tipping culture has gotten out of control.
Only a few years later,From the restaurant and hair salon,The culture of tipping has spread to almost every place where there are payment machines. ”
He recently went to a registered masseur for massageThe service was charged $90 per hour, and as a result, I was asked for a tip.
Bev Burgess, another citizen, agrees, pointing out that it should be up to the customer to decide whether to give or not.
Once, she went to the restaurant with her family to eat, everyone's dishes were served, only she was still waiting, and the other 14 people had finished eating, and her own was not served.
Because of the bad service experience, she didn't plan to tip, but "when the bill was delivered to me, it was already there."An additional 14% tip is automatically charged, which the store says is the default
What's even more exaggerated, Christine Sorensen is a vice president of a market research company, a while agoHit a backup key to an apartment and ended up being tipped as well.
Jim D**is, who lives in Banff, ordered a bouquet of flowers for his wife's birthday at a local flower shop, then went to the hardware store opposite to buy paint, but was asked for a tip when he turned around.
In my opinion, it is inappropriate for florists to suggest tipping. ”
Therefore, he did not give it, and said, "It makes sense to tip the cable car staff when skiing." I find it strange that coffee shops and other fast food restaurants prompt tips before any actual service is provided. ”
When it comes to tipping, it's impossible to mention Vancouver, a city where everything is expensive.
Some time agoSomeone saw a 35% tip at a restaurant in Vancouver, people are stupid, po asked on the Internet: Vancouver is so crazy now....
As a result, the following netizens replied:
If you want me to tip 35%, they'd better wipe your mouth after every bite! ”
35%？They had to help me chew every bite of the meal and feed it to me like a bird. ”
In a word: impossible. ”
Maria, who lives in Vancouver, once took her clothes to change them, but was shocked when she was prompted to charge a 15% tip when she swiped her card, but in the end she didn't give it. "Because the modification fee I gave was enough. Richard Chin once went to buy a few beers in Vancouver and was prompted to tip, with a minimum of 15 percent. The man also did not give, and said that he had no reason to giveHe walked in and picked it up by himself, bought it himself, and the clerk didn't provide any service, why give it? 
In the face of an increasingly out-of-control tipping culture, many Canadians have also learned to be "tough" and not give if there is no reason not to give. "It depends on how much 'service' I get from the individual. In addition, many people say that the phenomenon of tipping in fast food restaurants should be stopped. "In general, restaurateurs shouldn't think about tip income when hiring. Depending on the ability of the waiter to meet the expectations of the customer, they should be paid according to a certain standard. Anything that goes beyond this range should be given in mind for excellent service. ”
Karen, a girl who lives in Calgary, said that she went to Victoria with her sister last year, went to the store to buy alcohol, and went to the queue to check out after taking it herself. ”"For people who are just checking out, I don't leave a tip for anyone. ”
I also had a similar experience, because I suddenly wanted to drink a soda when I went out, I went in and got a bottled Coke from the freezer when I passed by Subway, and finally when I finished lining up to pay the bill, I was prompted to tip, and I silently pressed no and left. That said, tipping is now mandatory??? 
It is precisely because of the recent quarrel that the Canada Revenue Agency has come out to speak, making it clear that the proportion of tips and service fees paid also depends on the customer's decisionCompletely voluntary! That is to say, it is completely up to the customer to decide whether to tip or not, and how much to give is also decided by the customer. Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analysis Laboratory at Dalhousie University, said: "There is now a change in the psychological scale of tipping and a change in expectations, which is putting more pressure on consumers to tip. This practice may make tipping seem more mandatory and can lead to a higher overall cost for consumers. ”
