Street View: Do you think New Zealanders should start tipping hospitality workers?

No. I don't think so. Maybe they are not paid enough. Even $20 an hour is not realistic. But it depends on the customer if you want to give a tip.

I don't see why not. It's showing appreciation for what they are doing.

Why? They should be paid more instead. We are not America.

Can do, I don't see why not. If they put on a good service they should get a reward. It's a good incentive.

I don't think so. Purely because it's expensive enough to go out. Tipping overseas is a bit different because they make most of their money on tips.
