I’m so lost on how to tip anymore. I remember back when 12% pre-tax was considered a really good tip, but now the kiosks recommend 20-25% (which is usually ON TOP of tax).

I already don’t tip anywhere I’m not sitting down with service, but 20-25% is crazy when I’m just trying to get fed.

    I’m lucky and make a decent living. Not “buy a house in Vancouver” money but I’m basically not struggling. So, I figure anyone working minimum wage is doing something I probably wouldn’t like doing and I want to help out.

    I also love restaurants and bars. My favourite spots, those servers are doing hard work that I couldn’t do and they put up with all sorts of horrible nonsense. And if they don’t make enough, they leave and the place suffers. So I generally tip 20 at a place I like, 15 if it’s meh or whatever.
