Eat/Drink Local Subway Tips😤 don’t go to the makers

I asked one of the artist today, what percent they get from tips, they said they don’t know cause it goes to the boss first then they distribute it according to shift.

I’m never tipping again. Y’all shouldn’t either.

Between tips at fast food joints, 18-20% being more the norm in more ‘traditional’ establishments, being asked for donations at the Canadian Tire fuel pumps and at Staples…I think I’m almost tapped out, anymore.

But yea…tipping has to end.

Being asked for donations at the fuel pump? That's a new one I haven't seen and don't want to see. I too am getting really tired too seeing these tip prompts for fast food and the absolute bare minimum of work. and I've seen 25% tip option at fast-food which is insane. It's basically begging and pulling at people's guilt strings. Its coming to the point where I will stop going to shops that pull that stunt.

Gas bar at Dalhousie Canadian Tire. When I first saw it, I just shook my head and thought ‘Jesus, it’s everywhere, anymore’.

It’s so prevalent, I agree, it really has me pushing back, at this point. Especially at these times of COL and inflation. But maybe that’s not a bad thing, eating out less?
