    it didn’t start that way, it was a way to ensure prompt attentive service, it was on the table at the start so staff saw a bonus coming for being very attentive. Not saying that is a good way either, but USA has allowed it to drive down wages. Here minimum wage is almost identical across the country regardless of job type.

      Are tips mandatory in Canada like they are here in the US? If yes, then customers are still subsidizing employee wages.

        Suggested, not mandatory. Some places have stopped allowing tips being accepted by staff.
