Went to earls on 16th. Everything was great so I left the 25% for the girl. I like them young servers, hard working and always smiling lol not jaded like the veterans ahha
In HK it's 10% automatic and you can tip more if you like. Maybe that number is better here so at least it covers the tip out.
End of the day do whatever you want and support whatever restaurant you want. Lots of choices.

Too loud for Aspen
Do you guys tip at places where you pay before you get your food if prompted by the debit machine?
I find most of these places that have tip prompting debit machines don't even have a tip jar if you pay cash, but then again, dat cash money tax evasion
just tip if you want lol
also a matter of time before a no tip restaurant pops up in calgary.

Do you currently reduce your tip if you buy higher priced items? Like 18% on items under $20, and 5% on items over or something?Originally posted by roopi
I don't like the idea that if I buy a $100 bottle of wine that I need to pay an extra $16.00 for it.
No I do not. I see where you are going with this though.Originally posted by ExtraSlow

I know people that do this. The higher the bill the lower the %.Originally posted by ExtraSlow

It really does make no sense to tip on percent. If one person spends more, even if the waitress does no more work, why pay more? Ridiculous concept. Do you tip a higher % at a fancy restaurant? Because that is basically the same thing.
If Earl's actually does implement this, I'll stop going. I stopped going to Earl's because of the beef, and I'll stop going because of this.
As a sidenote, Earl's has in huge letters at the top of their menus "our beef is still 100% antibiotic free and humane and blah blah blah because YOU wanted it".
Bunch of tards running that business
Been to Earl's recently, have we?Originally posted by HiTempguy1

They switched back or are in the process of to Alberta steak
It also wasn't my choice to go, and I didn't have steak either time, just appies I've been asked multiple times in the past month or so to go to earls, and everytime I've said no except for the one time. I still am pretty firmly on the "f*&k earls" bandwagon, but its kind of a staple of Alberta which makes it hard to get away from, especially when people are picky eaters.
This is just another way for the owners to pass more of their own salary expenses down to the customer. Just pay your damn employees a little more, and then give the customers an option to tip whatever they want. What's so hard about that?
For most of the bars in downtown, i would say that the majority of people tip between 10-15% anyways. Regardless of how much people tip, i think most people will have a problem with a "mandatory" charge that's really only based on culture
I have never seen anyone tip less than 15% on a meal in downtown calgary. The norm is 15-20.Originally posted by hks

(That being said I haven't ever received horrendous service that might have warranted less than 15 either)

Why dont all business owners give their employees more. Why do the CEO's of fortune 500 companies not share their multi million dollar bonuses every year? Why doesnt Warren Buffet shower his employees with millions?Originally posted by hks

Isn't minimum wage going up to $15 or something like that by 2018? That seems like it would almost remove the need for tipping at restaurants where they are now getting a fair wage for entry-level work. I'm curious to see what happens there. Back when it was $5-7/hr, yeah, I can see why they would be depending on that extra 15-20% but at $15/hr for a job that has no prerequisites that seems not too bad. The almost guaranteed 15-20% tips servers make now is a big reason for garbage service IMHO. If it was more of a rarity or if they were paid a better base wage, I would hope to see service improve. Everywhere I have ever been has better restaurant service than Calgary.

When I served (for years) I found it much easier to provide good service to tables I "connected" with. If a table was cold or rude, it was hard to want to give them great service. It's not like I deliberately didn't give good service, but it's hard to be enthusiastic when you dread talking to someone... lol
Ah nothing better than the "Hey guys, my name is bla bla i'll be taking care of you tonight, how is everyones evening going?" *insert blank stare/no words back*
