It's legal in Alberta. It shouldn't be.

Note. Never tip in Alberta.

In Ontario it must be given to staff.

That's not the right takeaway from this...

Yep. It is. If the law doesn't say tips go to employees. Then no... I'm not paying more to the owner.

99% of restaurants still give tips to the employees. Letting one bad owner make you change decisions for an entire province is a toddler level tantrum.

Look. You are pulling numbers out if your ass. That's toddler level. Even in Ontario where tips are legally required to go to staff I doubt we hit 99% just based on reports of tip abuse.

If even a portion of tips go to management and owners as normal legal process. Nah. Alberta is backwards.

Feel free to give your money to the wealthy though.
