VCT employees cannot accept tips, even when working as bartenders. The POS system the city uses for the theatres has the capability to accept tips, and not being able to tip slows the line down, as people often cancel the transaction assuming they accidentally missed the tip option.

Vancouver is a very expensive city, and VCT employees work very hard, and should be allowed to accept tips. 

How they are distributed can be a discussion between the employees and union and city, but just simply not allowing people to tip their servers is ludicrous, and seems punitive.
