Well I think every time you tip; you encourage this exploitation. Restaurants should just jack up prices to reflect the costs. The lack of transparent pricing is quite appaling in Canada; they neither include tax nor tips. This is almost 30 -40 percent over the prices

Depends where but usually 15-20 percent on the pre tax amount

15 percent is standard. 18 percent if you’re happy. 20 for exceptional service.

Go for 15%~17% when selecting directly from POS and you’ll be fine

Thanks everyone 15-18 seems consensus. Just out of curiosity; are Canadian restaurant workers also paid less than minimum wages like in US ?

Yeah this isn’t a thing in cananda. Some states yeah, but everyone in cananda gets minimum wage. I think server minimum is only slightly less in some provinces

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

I’m begging for a world where we stop using songs like this and Roar by Katy Perry as the standard backing tracks for boring ads.
