Once businesses closed or were ordered to close because of the COVID-19 pandemic and B.C.'s response to it, we've heard conflicting reports about customer responses when it comes to tipping.

In early April, we heard anecdotally from drivers that people are tipping more, seemingly thankful for a continued service. We've also heard some folks have been tipping servers more since restaurants have re-opened, but we've also heard other reports that people are tipping less, possibly because some prices are up.

How about you? Has the pandemic changed how you tip servers, delivery drivers or hair stylists?
