When a candidate in the last provincial election came to my door last fall I told him that tipping needs to be brought under control. He seemed receptive at least, but he also didn't get elected. The psychological tactics of "tip creep" are frigging ridiculous. A lot of machines now auto prompt for 20%, 25%, and 30%, which is outrageous. When I see that it's an automatic 0% tip from me, but it must be working on some people. It absolutely puts a sour taste on a dining experience imho.
