3. Canadian here and I am sick of it.

Friday

I only tip now in sit down restaurant and my hairdresser. Other than that they get paid minimum $15. Per hour and usually more. The people in offices don’t get tips and their work is just as important if not more. I am no longer ashamed to say no to a tip. The other thing that pisses me off is every grocery store wanting me to donate to a cause. They take our money to donate and then get the tax deduction. I donate to the causes I want so it is a big no thank you on that as well.
