Good riddance. Tipping is racist/sexist, and is more often than not an excuse for the restaurants to use it for exploitation. I live in Toronto and everyone I know working in the food industry is happy to hear this.
- tptacek 6y agoIt isn't hard to find servers who do support tipping; especially in high-end and fine dining, it's relatively lucrative.
- skj 6y agoRacist/sexist in that it allows racists and sexists to express their biases via poor tips? Or something else.
- Pfhreak 6y agoAre tips universally distributed? I would suspect that unconscious bias can impact tipping norms and result in certain classes of people getting smaller or larger tips. I don't have data to back up my hypothesis, however. Additionally, tips tend to go to front of house staff, where certain groups are more/less represented.
- skj 6y agoThat's fair. To be clear, I wasn't denying the claim, just asking for your thoughts around it. I tip 20% rounded up to the nearest dollar every time, unless I'm really disappointed with the service which is quite rare.
- tsherr 6y agoTipping isn't racist or sexist any more than language is, but you can have sexist or racist tippers. I won't eat at a restaurant that decides I must pay X% tip. I occasionally get tips at work when I do outstanding service, and it's awesome but not required. I pay tips on the same way.
