I disagree with introducing tipping here. It feels like the public is being asked to prop up the hospitality industry and cover for low wages. If workers aren’t being paid enough, that’s an issue employers and the government need to fix, not something customers should take on.
What do you think? Should tipping become the norm in New Zealand?

For a while we had many hospitality places with POS units that would ask for tips. The trend seems to have died off so hopefully that shows customers won’t accept it.
Also pretty sure no one here is pushing for tipping, OP even said they were against it in the body of the post. Just that Lemmy users don’t get to decide much 😆
