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?

This here exactly.

I'm in Australia and the fuckers in every bar and restaurant are trying to enforce tipping through the payment systems.

We have overtime, holiday leave loading (paid more to go on holidays), personal leave. We don't need any of that eroded, and pass it onto tips.
