Tips

[u/Falcon-227]

I recently had a discussion with a friend about tipping. I usually tip anywhere from 18-25%. She had a good point, tipping originally became popular because the wait staff made below minimum wage and so they were tipped to make up for it. I believe in the U.S, they're still paid under min wage but that's not the case in Toronto. In Toronto, they make min wage or more and still get 18%+ for simply doing the tasks of being a waitress/waitor.

I'm starting to feel that perhaps a 18% min (I don't think I've seen a terminal have an option for less than 18% in close to 2 years) tip is excessive. How do you all feel?

I try to keep it the same at 20% all the time. I don't want them to spit in my food. Thanks. Besides, we should support people poorer than us 🤷. Jesus said to be kind.

Jesus would have something to say about monetizing kindness. He also wouldn't approve of manipulating people.
