The unofficial guide to tipping etiquette in Canada Canada Tipping
For many Canadians, tipping can be confusing and awkward. Figuring out when and how much you should tip is daunting, especially since the practice varies heavily across service sectors.
We've broken down the services that may make you stop and consider whether you have to tip into three basic categories: food services, personal care services, and accommodations and transportation.According to a Restaurants Canada spokesperson, the industry standard for tipping is between 15 and 18 per cent.
"Now, 15 per cent is typically the bottom of the range," Orr explained."It's an interesting shift. The average is much closer to 18 per cent now, sometimes 20 per cent depending on the location." According to Orr, if there were to be a hierarchy for tipping, restaurants would be at the top, followed by bars and coffee shops.
"I don’t see the difference between tipping a nail artist and a waitress," she told us."It's a service at the end of the day. Tip based on your experience with the nail tech!" There is, however, still an expectation to tip bellhops or door people. Orr says a typical tip for baggage delivery is one to two dollars a bag.
