- NamTaf 11y agoSometimes it exists, other times it doesn't. Tipping just about doesn't in Australia, where we pay a reasonable minimum wage ($17.29 per hour for adults in full-time employment). You occasionally find people will tip a taxi driver or bartender, but by and large it's just not done.
- xufi 11y agoInteresting. Some states in the U.S just raised the wage to $14 dollars but nationally it's pretty low
- 3pt14159 11y agoIn Toronto we do 15% to 25%. 10% is really low.
- megablast 11y agoBut you have a fair min wage in Canada, right?
- vlasev 11y agoIt's about 11 CAD.
- Ensorceled 11y agoNot for "service workers". They can be payed below minimum wage because they get tips as supplemental income.
- davidw 11y agoIn Italy, tipping is fairly rare. It's so much easier to just pay what the meal costs and get on with life.
- BBlarat 11y agoIn sweden I only tip if the service was better than expected.
- kwhitefoot 11y agoIn Norway where I live tipping is totally unnecessary, the restaurant staff are paid a reasonable wage. I travel to Poland on business and rarely tip anyone, just a few cafes in touristy spots seem to think they deserve it. I often let the taxi driver keep the change when I am flying out because I have no use for a pocketful of small denomination coins.
