It’s a hold over from days when restaurant service staff were paid a lower than normal wage and customers were expected to supplement their earnings with a tip. Wage laws have changed and they now earn as much as any other service worker. So no reason to tip for simply moving a plate from the kitchen to your table. This will cover 90% of what they do.

This is where the problem starts. 30 yrs teaching at a tech post secondary. Ridiculous grade inflation to accommodate students’ falling abilities. Spent waaaay more time than I should have dealing with plagiarism from internet sources. Many of my colleagues just gave up. Those kids are now parents.
