Inflation is happening in Alberta, and most people still tip 10%. Everything is getting more expensive, and many people are still only tipping 10%. Other salaries have gone up in response to inflation...mine definately hasn't.
So, as the cost of food at a restaurant goes up, so does your tip. 10% of a $30 meal is more than 10% of a $20 meal.

And as Fred said, my wages haven't gone up to match inflation either. The only places it has is on entry level jobs.

Don't get me wrong; I tip well when service is very good. But when the server just does their job; ie the minimum, then the server should expect the minimum when it come to the tip as well.
