I hope this question is allowed here.

A random cafe asked for 10/20/30% for takeout.

Thanks for all the helpful kind replies:)

      The expectation for tipping everyone all the time is another negative American export, but tipping a waiter at a sit down restaurant if they give good service has been the norm since my grandparents were young.

      People tip here all the time at restaurants. Tipping at Starbucks or some bullshit - no not as much agreed.

          If you’re at a sit down restaurant where the server comes to your table then tipping is absolutely expected in Canada.

            While this is debatable we believe in paying a living wage unlike the Americans so we consider tipping to be unnecessary.
