Meh, lots of that exists in Canada and mexico as well, unfortunately

It's not quite the same in Canada, though. Even when we used to have a different minimum wage for tipped workers, it was only a couple dollars per hour less than regular minimum wage. As far as I know, servers are now paid the same minimum wage as everyone else here. I've seen people say that server minimum wage in the US can be like $2 an hour.

Sure, but last time I bought a bread in Vancouver I had the option to tip 18, 20, or 25%, or nothing

So I click nothing and deal with the looks. I'm sorry, not sorry, tipping is just abusive
