Ele Ludemann: Tipping point


Tipping isn’t the norm in New Zealand but the introduction of EFTPOS machines that prompt customers to add 5, 10 or 15 percent to their bill might change that.

In some countries where wages are very low tips are expected.

One argument for that is it encourages, and rewards, better service, but if it’s added to an electronic payment does it go to the staff who serve you and wouldn’t it complicate GST returns and PAYE?
