How much do people tip? (lemmy.ca)

I'm so lost on how to tip anymore. I remember back when 12% pre-tax was considered a really good tip, but now the kiosks recommend 20-25% (which is usually ON TOP of tax).

I already don't tip anywhere I'm not sitting down with service, but 20-25% is crazy when I'm just trying to get fed.

I grew up in Canada but now live in Asia. I dread, absolutely dread going to any country where 'tipping' is normal. Why do we have to pay someone to do their job? The price should be the price on the menu.

I would travel to any country in Asia that doesn't have tipping rather than go back to Vancouver to pay $12 for a beer and be expected to tip for someone taking a bottle of beer from the fridge. I could never move back to Canada. /rant over.
