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?

The unspoken next step is to reduce minimum wage for hospo workers since they’re getting tips.

In the end this will benefit businesses not workers.

Yeah, I suspect any hospitality worker push tipping will shut up very fast if you point this out.
