Meh I think its were your living at. Living in a mainstream metro somewhere, yeah this prolly the norm.
Canada, lmao is fucking retarded. People here dont refill your drinks or even talk to you other than getting your order and dropping off the bill, then they act like they did something to earn a tip, they dont earn it, they just expect it.
Maybe its changed in the last 15 years, but when I was still living in ohio, eating out was a pleasant experience. Me and my partner had a mexican place we liked to go to (ran by actual mexicans gasp). Or even somewhere generic like bob evans. And everyone would small talk and theyd refill your glass everytime it emptied. They didnt expect tips, but they certainly earned them. Man, I just really miss ohio.
You could easily start up a conversation with some rando standing on the corner waiting at the bus stop or whatever. Even in columbus. Cant do that in a place like halifax, everyone is just so cold. Their either staring into their phones or looking at the ground. No one wants to even look at each other, let alone talk to each other. I think I was randomly called faggot just walking down the street here more in 3 years than the 30 years I lived in ohio lmao.
My god its fucking bad in canada, people expect tips for just picking up a order at a drive through, and the food is always so fucking expensive and shitty as fuck, never worth the money.
How'd you end up in canuckistan? As someone still in Ohio, I can say that it definitely doesnt seem to be as bad as most other places. But perhaps not as good as it was when you were here?
The people are mostly good, but service quality definitely varies from place to place. Just gotta tip wisely I guess; positive reinforcement where it is applicable and negative where it is applicable.
But the trends over the last few years leave me very conflicted. As someone who makes solid money and up until now was fairly single, I always had a lot of extra on my hands so I kind of liked tipping because I could reward going above and beyond. But with the entitlement and the increased begging for tips where they arent applicable and with how thoroughly they have become expected given employers account for them in the pay structure, part of me wishes the genie could go back in the bottle.
The only place I happily tip generously anymore is my local sushi joint. Because the quality is good for the price and I am happy and grateful that the owner is operating such a place in my hometown and want it to be successful.
