In the old days...
Before Tax Tips: 1.0 + 1.0 x 5% (GST) + 1.0 x 10% (tips before tax) = 1.15
After Tax Tips: 1.0 + 1.0 x 5% (GST) + 1.05 x 10% (tips after tax) = 1.155
Tips Diff = 0.005 = 0.5%
Right now...
Before Tax Tips: 1.0 + 1.0 x 12% (HST) + 1.0 x 10% (tips before tax) = 1.22
After Tax Tips: 1.0 + 1.0 x 12% (HST) + 1.12 x 10% (tips after tax) = 1.232
Tips Diff = 0.012 = 1.2%
It's funny for SOME people they are still get used to the "OLD" days...
And, for some (actually, quite a few) fellow Chinese Canadians (or mentally still Chinese but not Canadian), for $100 meals they used to pay $2 or $5 for the tips, especially in Chinese restaurants...
Try to put it this way, tips, as a bonus, is a reward to the acceptance of service. In reality, both parties (consumers and servers) are trying to draw from the obligation - one is trying to pay less tips and the other is trying to provide less service. In my observation, Chinese consumers play quite an important role... 
I think I have never visited a poor service restaurant with cosumers paying high tips in gross (10% or more, generally speaking)...
If one is more get used to the local culture, one is willing to play more tips to the server. |

My math is poor in front of the restaurant counter.
