Tip Toeing Away from Tipping
We should have no need to tip service people in NZ.
We have generous minimum wages for all working sectors unlike the countries where tipping is outright encouraged/expected and in some instances, demanded.
For instance, I think its New York where the minimum wage for waitresses is $2.50 an hour. So tipping brings up their weekly earnings to something more in keeping with survival.
Here as in Australia, the minimum wage is in excess of $15 an hour and in many instances the staff get higher paid.
So we have a different system for earning wages than does many countries and thus we don't have to tip and should not be "forced" to do so. We have many people using services who are themselves on the minimum wage or not far removed. We don't need to make it any more expensive for them.
