This is a Canadian / USA issue. Sadly in Canada there is no below minimum wage service employees, and thus in Canada tipping to make the difference in income for a service industry person is a misnomer, it is as we say a gratuity. a gift. The pressure to tip and tip constantly, and “generously” , and in a such inventively intrusive ways. The upfront tipping model is presumptuous, it is pushy. clearly more and more so with POS systems and the “cashier” wielding them are lacking in social graces. To Insure Promptness ts to “T.I.P.”… When a corporation claims to offer you prompt service tipping should not be an option at all.
Tipping in the United States is on the rise and experts are calling it tipflation. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the number of tips provided at full-service restaurants grew by 17% from the fourth quarter of 2021. Meanwhile the tip frequency at quick-service restaurants rose 16% during the same time period.

The pressure to tip well in front of the tip receiver, before a service is completed, or in front of other customers makes a difference for many.
After customers swipe their credit card, they’re typically prompted with three large tipping options on a screen. While businesses can opt out of the tipping feature, most aren’t. In fact, even Starbucks started prompting customers for tips in stores in September 2022. With Americans being pressured to tip higher percentages and for more services, the question is, where is the tipping point?
