Hi all,

We arrived last month and so far really loving it, except this tipping culture and GST thats not included (what the hell is up with that??) even though everyone pays it...

Anyway, I was at the First Street Market yesterday and ordered some Mexican food (which was awesome by the way) but was surprised that when I paid I was asked to select tip amount even though this is just over the counter service. I mean you have decided that you dont tip for fast food, so what gives with these guys where its basically a glorified food hall (a concept that I totally dig by the way)?

Is it considered ok to not tip them? I didnt tip for my coffee but tipped for the food 15%.
