And how dare this moron even suggest that we tip. You get paid very good wages, more than double of those in the US - we are not supplementing your income, and we don't care if your business cannot make a profit, that is not our concern!

I am not tipping anyone for doing their job - no matter what country I am in.
YOU, the nation have spoken, and you have a few choice words for the restaurant industry: Tipping should not be standard practice in Australia.
Yesterday, we posted a story about how restaurants are using a database system called ResDiary, owned by Dimmi, to keep track of their customers behaviour, such as how much they tip. The chief executive of Dimmi, Stevan Premutico said Australia hasnt gotten the tipping culture right and that an average restaurant is lucky to make a five per cent profit margin, so you have an obligation to leave a tip if you have a positive experience.
Mr Premuticos comments certainly fired up readers. In the almost-400 responses we had to the piece, people were overwhelmingly against making tipping the norm in Australia.
