Isn't carry out fairly good service with equivalent food quality (based on their price range) a basic standard? I don't usually over tip them, unless they're doing surprisingly well to impress me. Depends on the "culture" of different cuisine, tip from 10% to 15% before tax is my normal practice.

They have freedom to choose the job. If they think being a server is a tough job, they can choose some other jobs. We tip them not because of their job nature is tough, but depends on how good or bad their actual service is. Garbage guy is a tough job too, do we tip them all because of "their job is a tough job"?
(sorry to be mean)

It's a sad North American thing... Waiters and waitresses here mostly get paid very little and they based a lot of their income on tipping.
It's very diff in Europe and thus tipping isn't really nee ...

Yes, true.
Another example- Japan. See how sincere and professional they serve customers (even pretend to do so), but never ask for any tip. (not accepting tip is their normal practice) Is their job less tough than other countries? I don't think so.

Just curious, after the HST is imposed, will you still give out much tips as now?

I tip before tax anyways.
