I just saw this article about tipping here in Canada and thought you
might be interested to see how it works here given your own frustrations
with it in LA.

I've absolutely had it with tipping. I've got everyone from Subway to
McDonald's pestering me for tips now.

Dude, you shoved a bag of burgers across the counter to me. What makes you
think you deserve an extra 20% of my bill for that? Especially here in
California, where, thanks to the socialists in the legislature, you make more
than $20/hr by law to shake the fry basket or squirt the guac bottle in the
first place. (Which has resulted in the cost of a Big Mac/fries/soda
approaching $20 now. In 2019, I could get that for $7.95) You're already
making *far* more than your unskilled labor is worth and you have the stones
to try to shake me down for an additional 20% tip on top of it all?

Wasn't the point of the increase to give the employees a livable
income. One where tips wouldn't be necessary. Guess that wasn't the
case.

No. The merchant simply doesn't want the wage increase on his payroll.
Don't kid yourself that it's otherwise. It doesn't necessarily mean that
the tipped person gets a higher way.

In the other followup, you yourself pointed out that the tip doesn't
necessarily go to the person the customer thinks is going to receive it.
