Are there any provinces that still have a lower minimum wage for alcohol servers? BC got rid of that years ago.
Unless you mean minimum wage in general is barely anything.
Minimum wage in general is barely anything, and traditionally tipped positions are likely to be minimum wage.
Even if wages were closer, the tipping mindset is going to be hard to shake for people who spent decades tipping those jobs. Habits are habits.
Right, but unless I'm misunderstanding you, I don't understand why we should be tipping bartenders but not baristas. The amount of work and skill required seems comparable (I've never done either so I can't say that definitively), they're almost the same job with different ingredients.
Sigh.
I was just trying to point out why some people might do something out of habit.
All jobs should be paid enough that tipping can just go away. Yes, both bartenders and baristas have similar skills and should get similar pay.
Ahh, that makes sense. It was the second part that threw me off.
