I disagree with introducing tipping here. It feels like the public is being asked to prop up the hospitality industry and cover for low wages. If workers aren’t being paid enough, that’s an issue employers and the government need to fix, not something customers should take on.
What do you think? Should tipping become the norm in New Zealand?
Tip them with handouts on federal labor laws, award rates, union info, and anonymous workplace ombudsman report line.
