He made the same amount of money overall being a waiter and he met lots of girls who he then slept with. He worked at Boston Pizza, thats just your average joe restaurant.

I had the same reaction... $2.50 / hr???? wtf?? that's gotta be illegal. But then I constantly read about the scale from several posters in this thread and I guess it is quite common (albeit shocking) in several US states...
Casts a different light on the angst presented by some of our American friends.

The most obvious thread running through this discussion is wounded Canadian pride. Really guys, you shouldn't fret. We know it is important to you to be loved by the world. And the world still loves you, really they do--even if you are the planet's worst tippers.
One thing is for certain: this is the first time I've agreed with host about anything. Go figure.
