text: Well with provinces eliminating the server wage, and minimum wage going up to a "living wage" which will be passed on to the customers, I would say there may be little or no need to tip in Canada soon. No one tips retail workers. Why would the tip a food service worker or a maid? People over tip and shouldn't be tipping for someone to pour them a coffee. In developing countries, set a budget and distribute. Again there is no need to over tip.
