The extract, which has already received more than 10 million views on the social network TikTok, has reignited the debate on the culture of tipping in North America.

While she bought a bottle of water for $2.75 Canadian, the self-service cash register offered to leave a tip, which she refused.

The woman also had to write her name to complete the order.

In the comments below the publication, reactions from Internet users multiplied, calling for a review of the notion of tipping in the country.

“The tipping culture has gotten out of hand. The only places I tip are restaurants,” said one user.

“It’s so messed up that I no longer feel bad regarding not leaving any,” says one Internet user.

“As long as there’s no one serving you food and drink, don’t worry,” said another man.
