I hope this question is allowed here.

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

Thanks for all the helpful kind replies:)

I’ve heard that the banks are shipping the credit card terminals with tipping enabled by default, so it is up to vendors to disable it and most are not doing it. There are all sorts traditionally non tipping business across Canada that now ask for tips on the terminal. There is almost always an option for either no tip or custom where you can enter 0.

    Thank you for your reply. That is interesting to know.

    Is it still culturally okay to not tip? I found the options also shocking.

    Places that have traditionally relied on tipping such as waiters and delivery drivers it would be considered uncouth to not tip.

    Places that have not traditionally relied on tips such as fast food or take out it is considered perfectly normal to not tip. Anecdotally I have seen stories online that the employees of these traditionally non tipping business often don’t receive the tips anyway, so all the more reason not to do so.
