On the debit/credit machines in Canada, there is the option of choosing a tip. One can enter a dollar amount or a percentage of the bill.
If I'm picking up an order, I won't leave a tip.
When I get my hair cut, I usually work it backwards instead of choosing a percentage. If the service was $22.99, I'll do the math so that the amount I'm charged is even. In this case, I would likely put in a tip of $3.01 to make it $26.00.
I try to make it between 15% and 20%. When I used to go out to restaurants, I thought the norm was about 10% of the bill. It wasn't until years later that I found out the benchmark was 15% for good service and 20% for great service.
One of my friends at the restaurant where I used to frequent must have thought I was a cheapskate by only tipping 10%!

It would actually be pretty stupid to have a complete cashless society. Yes cards are easier but there should always be possible to pay wit cash and you should always have some cash laying around in case of emergencies.
Yes i am going a bit of topic and i apologize.

I think when you tip by card there's still a way they determine who it goes to. So its okay.

While tipping is a very cultural thing to do in many places\countries, it should neither be a requirement, nor an entitlement. Tipping needs to be done at the behest and generosity of the customer and not a forced action. I rarely tip and where I live it is NOT exactly expected. Prices charged need to reflect the business needs for overheads and profit. Businesses can just pay their staff better wages, if they are having to rely on tips.

Catman assumes buskers will need to start accepting credit and debit cards. Muggers will go out of business, unless they accept all major credit cards including American Express.

According to a current article about 20 million Americans don't even have a bank account and have to pay everything with cheques or cash. That is only about 5% though of a the countries population building up to third world proportions.

I don’t tip because society says I have to. Alright, I mean I’ll tip if somebody reallydeserves a tip. If theyreally puts forth the effort, I’ll give themsomething extra.
But this tipping automatically, it’s… for the birds. As far as I’m concerned, they’re just doin their job.

Of course, cow tipping will be unaffected.

Just like we do now. When is the last time you actually used currency to pay for something? I use currency for everything under a certain value and will continue to do so until the day I die (or cash is discontinued, whichever comes first). When I spent $30 at a restaurant, I want the restaurant to have my full $30, as opposed to the restaurant getting $29.10 and the fucking bank getting $0.90.

I don't care if the bill says Service Included, I am not sure that the money will reach the staff so I use the plastic for the reckoning and hand the waiter/waitress the tip in cash. You know a lot of times that doesn't reach the staff either, right? You shouldn't. Tipping is stupid and wrong.

I guess you could write it down on the receipt if you want to pay extra and how much. But it would just be way easier to just pay workers more so you don't have to tip anymore (as is currently done in many other countries around the world), unless the service/food was truly exceptional.
