I disagree with introducing tipping here. It feels like the public is being asked to prop up the hospitality industry and cover for low wages. If workers aren't being paid enough, that's an issue employers and the government need to fix, not something customers should take on.

What do you think? Should tipping become the norm in New Zealand?

If you can't afford to pay your staff enough for them to want to work for you, then your business has failed - you just haven't run out of cash yet.

Pay them properly, or admit that you don't have a viable business model.
