Tipping in Canada is Kinda Sus? Youth Say It's Too Much 🙄💸
'It’s ridiculous': Why some Canadian youth feel ready to tap out of tipping culture. Gen Z in Canada is side-eyeing the whole tipping sitch. Survey says they think it's extra, especially with everything else costing an arm and a leg. Is tipping on its way out, or nah?

The Deets
Okay, so word on the street is that the youngins in Canada are not feeling the tipping culture. Like, at all. Apparently, a bunch of peeps aged 18-34 are straight-up over it. They're saying it's "ridiculous," which is a whole mood.
H&R Block Canada did some digging and found out a lot of Canadians, especially the younger crowd, think tipping is just... too much. They're stressing about the cost of living already being sky-high, and now they gotta drop extra cash even when the service ain't all that? Major 🚩.
Some people are still team "tip for good service," but others are like, "Hold up, shouldn't people just get paid a decent wage in the first place?" And get this – in some Asian countries, tipping isn't even a thing! They just pay a small service fee to the workers. 🤔
So, what's the solution? Some are suggesting service fees instead of tips, or even better, tackling the real issue of trash wages. Is this the end of tipping as we know it? 👀
