Tipping Reform
(N.Z Press Assn. —Copyright) LONDON, Mar. 10. The campaign to abolish tipping is gaining ground in Britain. The Liberal Party’s Chief Whip, Mr Eric Lubbock, will ask the Home Secretary, Mr Roy Jento replace taxi-tip-ping with a formal “service charge” system. Under the proposed system, taxi meters would
show a "service charge” and the fare.
This would replace the traditional tip. Taxi fares who neglect to tip the driver often receive a cold stare—and sometimes a verbal rebuke.
The chairman of an anti-tipping campaign, Mr Maurice Ell man, recently reported that a survey showed that waiters, hairdressers, and taxi drivers favoured a set wage instead of tipping.
