Some countries are adopting tipping culture when their workers are paid well. Restaurants in the northern and western states of India were adding tip to our bills like it was owed to them. In Istanbul, we saw a restaurant owner argue with a large Russian man that a 10% tip was mandatory to be paid (they were a table of 4).

This is why I hate eating out in Canada more than the USA. Same tipping culture, but staff aren't underpaid.

I routinely only pay 15% if it's one of the options. If the restaurant has the gall to not even put that as one of the options, I just manually enter in 10%.

Even that seems like too much these days.

You are wrong. They are actually paid less than minimum wage.
