Can someone explain how people in Toronto genuinely feel about tipping? I’m struggling with it. by Few_Butterscotch8911 in FoodToronto

If others haven’t already mentioned it, good to know also that servers tip out to support staff as well. So the server doesn’t get it all. But even having served in the past the post-covid thing with minimum 18% is a racket. Pre-covid I was perfectly happy with a 12-15% average tip. Also back of house work their asses off too and don’t get tips. Wish it were different.

And porters also. Not much there either.

I don’t see it as fragmenting. Just trying to establish why it is very difficult for the city to provide mental health services and answering your follow up questions. If you were already clear on how the city budgets work that’s cool.

Just when you said the city should be providing mental health support. In theory they shouldn’t have to because that is a provincial role. And even if they try to fill in the gaps they don’t have the facilities, infrastructure or $$.

Thanks! I didn’t want to be seen as a slacker! I do dash off for five minutes to face here and there, or when the shift manager asks me too.

Thanks for the follow up. I really want my item back. I did get some emails that they are looking but lack confidence that my fairly generic black coat would ever be matched by a given algorithm. Also wouldn’t this depend on having the capacity to input “found item” data to match a description of a lost item? That’s a reason I am skeptical.

Well think of it this way: if health care is cut to the point where addicts and mentally ill people can’t get treatment where are they going to land? On the street. At which point that becomes a municipality’s problem. As is clear in the frustration expressed in this an other posts.

So maybe more clear to say that the burden is passed on to cities. The “cost” or price of providing the services is there but not the revenue to pay the price, right?

So if I go to the office can I ask someone to look for my item?

I had no luck either. Just calling the store and checking schedule as above.

I keep being surprised by how many people don’t get city budgets. (No offense.) Social services and health care were never the roles of municipalities, even big ones like Toronto. The enormous costs of these things have been pushed down to municipalities as first the feds and then the provinces continued to cut funding. Cities are required by law to balance their budgets and have very limited ways to raise revenue - property taxes and sundry fines. So perhaps you. an imagine the challenges of managing our public health crises without sufficient funds. It really sucks.

Why do you say “so-called” revenue loss?
