yes, mainly because it's been brute forced into me due to spending a decade+ in the US

however, i've come to like doing it on my own terms - ~$5-10 depending on type of service i'm receiving (restaurant, taxi)

still hate the concept of it having to be a fixed percentage though...

It’s off the charts in Canada, 18% is the norm and growing… even for self service and take out.

yea, absolutely ridiculous in these cases 😭

i remember going to a "local" cafe in DC a couple years ago, ordered coffees + pastries and tip machine default asked for 18% so i paid it because "support local businesses"

finished and was leaving when one of the servers asked me if i could clear the table we used...

casting this, i realize this might come across a bit douchey

but still, not sure exactly what i'm paying these tips for!

No I think that’s fine. For some reason Japanese can do fairly well on no tips, and take pride in service, while places like California add 4% “to help pay for healthcare costs” on top of a 20 dollar sandwich.
