For the other people who think you are tipping more now then sorry to break the news but that means you've always been tipping on total amount which means you've always been tipping too much suckas.

some people insist on tipping 15% or maybe even 20%.
It's kind of funny, because they think they're all hotshit when they brag about tipping that much...
When I just think they're fools that are wasting money.

How about people tipping 15%+ because the service was good? I'm sure a lot of folks in the service industry make their survival on decent tips. Does someone need to post that scene from Reservoir Dogs, again?
Sorry for keeping this OT, but this thread was derailed long ago.

Its going to hurt the industry for a bit, until people forget about this crap in a few months.

That's what happened at the pho places I go to.

Chinese food at UBC village:
before
2 items: $5.50
after
2 items: $6.25
IMO, the HST was not only for a tax increase, but as well as an increase in prices in general. It was the perfect way for businesses to increase their product prices without having the customers bitching.

I cut down on all overpriced outside food now. $6 for a cooked hot dog after tax? $5 for a small little lunch sandwich that doesn't make you full? lol...
If businesses raise their prices to take advantage of us customers, that just makes me not buy from them.
I make my food from scratch now. Buy flour to make bread, no pathetic HST.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is HST on the flour that you buy at any local supermarket. | There's no HST on Flour....or Bread.

It's pro-rated I think. The monthly bill doesn't go from the first to the last day of each month, it overlaps a bit.
