Is it OK to choose ‘no tip’ at the counter? Some customers think so

Hell yes it’s okay!

Canada doesn’t have a server wage like the US; we don’t need to import their tipping culture. Moreover, regarding tipping in general: It is the employers’ responsibility to pay employees a living wage; it is not the duty of the customer to subsidize wages.

Actually, Quebec still has tip wage.

And employers who use it have a top-up-to-minimum requirement, when applicable.

My therapist thought I was wrong, when I told her servers get paid a living wage. I live in Canada and don’t tip.

Minimum wage ≠ Living wage

Minimum wage = “I’d pay you less were I allowed to, but I can’t.”

That said, it isn’t the customers’ duty to subsidize wages.
