I guess it's just a cultural thing lol. Here 15% is just... what you tip. Also most waiter/waitresses make more than minimum wage, so they're earning a flat salary on top of all the money they get. My aunt was a waitress in the 80s (in Canada) and she pulled in about $300 dollars in tips a night PLUS her base pay during the huge recession in the 80s.Avaholic03 said:I was raised thinking 15% was the minimum for really crappy service. I typically tip 20-25%. But I've had friends that waited tables and said Canadians often tipped only 5%. Hence the joke: what's the difference between a Canadian and a canoe? The Canadian won't tip. (not my words, I'm just quoting friends who learned that joke at their jobs).AC10 said:I'm Canadian and I always tip the accepted 15%Avaholic03 said:Canada is nice...except when they tip. They're notoriously cheap.AC10 said:Canada!

That's the North Pole. South Pole is Antarctica and I don't trust the penguins. They overdress all the time and that Penguin World game unsettles me.bodyklok said:Antarctica, as long as you don't mind bears.
