15-20% with no maximum.

Probably 10 to 15% average. More for very good service, etc. If I'm eating out on expenses, which I often am, I will tend to tip 20 to 25% average and again more for good service.

Also, if there is no pressure to tip I will almost always give a big tip, however if the service is average in some exclusive restaurant which then automatically adds a huge tip to the bill... because I don't like to feel pushed I'll often drop the tip down - sure fire way to see some funny maître d’ losing their cool antics...

10-15 percent, which is about average in canada. in the rare occasion that i get a particularly good waiter/waitress or i'm drunk i tip more.

I know but the owner is responsible for making sure they make full minumum wage, and I am arguing that you have no obligation to follow the legal mandate of minumum. 

He's trying to argue against the minimium wage.

Some people believe the minimium wage hurts unemployment, causes inflation and is unnessesary since people basically need to pay their workers a living wage to get people to work for them unless they're teeneagers and dependents.

This can be seen in other countries with higher minimium wages who have exremely high youth unemployment rates do to people not wanting to hire youths for such high price... and when people graduate college they end up having absolutly no work expeirence and need to live off the state while taking interships.

The theory is that without minium wage there would be more jobs because they could pay teenagers less to do things like bag groceries... in turn letting the grocery stores make more profits and open up more grocery stores, allowing more people to be managers and to have jobs that would pay much higher then the minium wage.

Basically that some jobs are actually not meant to make a living... but instead to supplement a youths income and give them a job.

Whether or not that actually would play out like that... couldn't say.  Personally i'd be worried there might be nothing for unskilled workers to do to live on a sustainable wage.  Which... not everyone even has their parents to support them when they're young.

That's why things like child labor are postitives in 3rd world coutnries for example.

In British Columbia, the minimum wage is $8.00 an hour, however, employers are allowed to pay as little as $6 an hour to any employee with less than 500 hours of experience. Fast food places always take advantage of this, not sure about other places, but I think it helps.

I don't get the chance to tip often, but when I go, it's about 15%.

My mommy gives them $2 XDDD

I'm surprised by the people who don't tip. lol Most of that money in the tips most likely goes to the company they are working for. That's how it is at my work. They only get to keep a small percentage of their tips. I'm sure most do it like that but people don't realize it.

anyway, I've only tipped once in my life. and that was because that was my first time ever paying....for a haircut, a couple of months ago. lol I gave her 50% I think.

I only do it because it's considered rude. The only real people I feel comfortable tipping are well deservered servers and my barber. 

Fun fact, Japan has a no tip policy! I enjoyed it very much!

I usually give 15% in tips
