We are revisiting a story from Tuesday’s show, and a topic we have occasionally tackled on Ottawa Now. That debate surrounds today’s tipping policies. A new survey from H&R Block Canada suggests that Canadians may have reached their breaking point. To be more precise, 67 percent of surveyed Canadians believe it's time to abolish the practice, while a staggering 93 percent believe that the practice has gotten out of control. Toronto Metropolitan University professor Wayne Smith says we got really generous with tipping during COVID times, and that never really stopped. But because it’s so heavily engrained into our culture, he argues it would take a lot for tipping to be abolished. Kristy Cameron checks in with Kelly Higginson, the President of Restaurants Canada.
