The CAQ government wants to remove some of the pressure that consumers face at restaurants.
The Legault government wants to provide better regulations and supervisions for tip suggestions in a new bill, according to Le Journal.
The “Act to protect consumers against abusive commercial practices and to provide greater transparency in terms of prices and credit” is expected to be tabled in the National Assembly by Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette. He’ll hold a press conference Thursday morning with more details.
The bill’s goal is to alleviate some of the annoyances that consumers face everyday and to impose more transparency in stores to allow customers to make better choices according to their budget.
The CAQ government has been aware of the tipping issues for the past few months.
Le Journal recently reported that customers, and even restaurant employees feel anxious about the tipping options.
In some cases, certain amounts have an emojis beside it to encourage customers to be more generous, while machines don’t offer tipping options lower than 18 per cent, although the average is 15 per cent.
