Tipping culture in Canada has officially gone off the rails. From self-checkouts to liquor stores, we’re being poked at every turn to supplement payrolls for big corporations. 60% of us are feeling the fatigue, and it’s time we talk about the "guilt tax" we’re being forced to pay.
In this episode of Canada Off Script, join me and Castor as we look at the data, the corporate "charity" schemes, and how we can stop being forced into tipping for transactions that aren't service. I also share a personal story about a recent experience where I tipped the max - and why it changed my perspective on what good service actually looks like.
