    I don’t get why it’s supposed to be percentage-based. I tip a fixed amount, regardless of how much i spent

      yeah I still tip (in Ontario, where servers make at least the same minimum as everybody else) but it’s just a rounded up value to even out my bill, and it’s a reasonable amount (a few bucks at most). as always, if whoever is providing a service for me did a truly above and beyond job, I will tip that. but I am rarely in that scenario when eating out, or anywhere else.

      there’s just no reason that wait staff should be making an extra $30+ an hour when retail staff etc don’t make any tips. pay them all more. that’s my contribution.
