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?

Seconded. It's a practice that really only exists to pit employees against customers for wages, rather than taking it to their employers who are actually responsible for paying them.
