I completely agree. I live in Northern Canada and rarely tip. I dont know if its the same all over Canada but in the 3 cities i've lived in they do not pay waitresses or cab drivers less than minimum wage. Usually about 1 dollar over minumum wage for waitressing but im not sure the average wage for drivers. I work very hard for my money (most of the time) and honestly feel that they get paid what they deserve for the service they are providing to me. Nothing is forcing a person to be a waitress (where i live anyway there is not a lot of poor immigrants like someone already mentioned). They are free to look for a better paying job, which there are plenty of. Bringing food from point A to point B with a smile does not warrant any extra wages in my opinion. The only times i've tipped waitresses are when they: give free products/samples, correct a mistake with something worth more than the original product, or i personally knew them. Its not common in my area to not leave a tip. Most of my friends and family are embarrased by me when i do it and some even tip extra to make up for my lack of tipping, but i just dont understand the need to.
PS- i used to be a devilery driver for 2 years also, so i know how much someone can make on tips. I felt very overpaid for what little work i did.
