Montrealers Lead Canada in Tipping

Montrealers are tipping the most in Canada, averaging 14.5% — even though many locals feel overwhelmed by how often they’re asked to tip, from coffee shops to self-checkout machines. A third tip between 16% and 20%, the highest rate in the country, despite confusion around Quebec’s unique minimum wage rules for tipped workers. While some see tipping as appreciation for good service, others — especially international visitors — find it awkward or unfair, especially when it means service staff can actually lose money if tips are skipped. The pressure isn’t just local: FIFA fans in Canada and the U.S. are also complaining about mandatory tip suggestions as high as 20%, sparking online calls for businesses to pay workers directly instead.
