This is very occasionally popping up in restaurants in Australia. Whether you live here or travelling. Do not tip unless they did something incredible. I’m talking the fish brought your grandma back to life and the chef reconnected you with your long lost father. We don’t want to encourage tipping culture. We want to increase minimum wage. It’s like $23 now and we need that to keep growing with the economy.

Even if they did something incredible don't tip because you paid $30 for avocado on toast anyway.

I think that one that is angry about paying 30 for avocado toast should make their own for five bucks and tip themselves.

I mean, that's on you for agreeing to pay $30 for an avocado on toast.

I'm against (forced) tipping culture but the waiter is not at fault for the prices a restaurant sets up. If I saw the price and still decided to order it, I will definitely not fault the waiter for it.

Waiters that give great services gets tipped because I want to encourage waiters to give great service.
