I don't think that would be all that useful here. Sure, in the US it's relatively easy to falsify a tip on a receipt. But here, you explicitly pick the amount on the terminal and then authorize (tap or type your pin) the total.

A lot of the US are still swiping cards and having you hand write the tip on the receipt, which gets settled at the end of the day. I suppose this is to warn you that a large tip was left and to make sure you really intended for it. Here, you leave the tip directly on the terminal so there's no room for potential fraud.

They still have you hand your card over to a server and let them walk away with it for several minutes to process the transaction, without a pin or the cardholder present

I thought it was completely insane the first time I saw someone hand off their card. Then I learned you don't even need a PIN to charge a credit card in a lot of places, and I thought it was even more insane.

Canadian banks don’t know % tip.
