The system works….I feel guilty not tipping in some situations. But then I remember WTF…the worker did nothing to help me and I get over it.

I go to the one at Keele/7 a couple times a week. Nice people that work the counter just doing a job and get treated like **** by customers all day long. Try to keep that in mind.
I generally tip well if the service is good. It doesn’t take much for me to drop down to zero tip and I don’t feel bad. I deal with ass**oles every day and don’t get extra for it.
I also know many that work in the service industry and they make a lot of cash income that is undisclosed. If you’re not getting tips you probably aren’t good at serving people

The only restaurant where I consistently tip well is the one I used to go to often (Albatross Pub) because we love the place.
Which reminds me....need to check if they re-opened up again.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for large portions of good food!
I've increased tipping during the covid mess. Starting to return to old ways now as things normalize. The way I saw it, I ate out less and many of restaurants and staff were taking a beating so helping them out was reasonable. On take out I was normally tipping 10%, 20% for dine-in (25% occasionally).
It doesn't matter, as long as you were happy in the end.
I only use the privately owned SOs. Always more tellers on duty and they're usually faster and more pleasant.
Interesting. My SO friend tries very hard to hire friendly staff even though they cant afford to pay well. The government office is full of crotchety people that give a rats ass about customer service as they make their money either way and their job is easier if less people come through the door.
And all CxOs will quit their jobs and will be replaced by the external consultants... with the same names.
Possibly. Not sure on the logistics of stock options to consultants. Consultants are also allowed to work for more than one company. No system is perfect but it's hard to imagine a system much more imbalanced that the current implementation without slavery.

I'm going to get burned, but.....
Can't live on minimum wage?
Should have got an education.

You dont necessarily need an education to beat minimum wage. It helps a lot to have connections. Sales are some of the best paying jobs and for many no formal education is required, just hustle.

Some of the dumbest people I know are the most "educated" people I know.

When I say 'education', I don't mean schoolin.
I'm from a more 'mature' generation. Quit school at 17 when gf got pregnant. Basically grade 10 schooling.
Had a lot of on the job education and did manage a comfortable life. Now enjoying a very comfortable retirement.
Maybe I got lucky.
I still think ( maybe I'm wrong ) that there are jobs out there where you can make much more than minimum wage.
IF you are motivated enough.
What percentage of 17 year olds today could pull that and end up with a comfortable retirement?
The world is a different place, this isnt the 60s. On the job education? You wouldnt even be allowed in the place with that kind of resume in todays world.
Not having an education doesn’t need to equate to minimum wage either. Work hard, prove your worth. It’s not necessarily easy but it can be done.

You are right, times are different. It probably was easier some years ago (certainly was from my perspective). Too many people use that as an excuse to not make a better life for themselves. I’m not lost on the whole picture but it’s easier to pass things off than it is to work hard and make something of what you have available. You’re not going to get anywhere trying to convince others you have it harder than they did.

In 1990, 17% of working age Canadians held some kind of post-secondary education or degree. Today, that number is closer to 30%. Almost double.
Can you get a job right now without a degree? Of course. But that piece of paper becomes an easy way for employers to filter out job applicants in a competitive work environment, especially for higher-paying positions in the knowledge-based economy.
If that's where you're heading, it just makes sense to meet the minimum bar for entry.
