All the stuff in this thread that destroys your contention, you're right that 'stuff' is all made up, it's just a malicious plot by the Canadians of this board to fuck you over. You stick to the arguments that support your contention, and ignore the actual Canadian data in this thread, keep going the usual way host, like Ace said, maybe we'll just get tired of you regurgitating the same old BS and give up like most people do why argue anything with you.

Host this is pointless as I've already said anything we post isn't going to lessen your hard on for Canadians, you have an issue with what we tip, the alternative is you could get fuck all, be thankful for what you get rather than pissing and moaning about something we didn't have to leave.

As one of the articles I posted said, 15-20% is appropriate, so it seems all the Canadians in this thread are right on par.

Even your own data, search Canadian on the 'Distressed waitress', you'll find 2 complaints, search Yahoo Answers, you'll find one, ONE mention of Canadians, so you see host your own data that supposedly backs up your accusation, doesn't back it up that well at all. You can use the posts that support your argument, but before throwing around stupid accusations you may want to make sure more than 2 people on a link have complaints about Canadians. Oh yeah that Yahoo Answers was 1 out of 33, one out of 33, yeah that back your argument up so well.

You don't actually read what is being posted to you do you? 15% max? Have you read no other posts in this thread beside your own?

Would you like some cheese with that wine?

I've experienced tips so small from guests with larger bar tabs, that I've actually lost money serving them, and you've already assured me that, no matter what, your tip will be 2 percent less than what I have to pay back the bar for the 17 percent deduct on bar tabs.
Were these Canadians (of course they were), or were they your beloved local Americans who save you with their gracious tips. The tip may not be 2% less, you seem to be ignoring the fact that many of us have said we tip between 15-20%, some tip more, so you're not assured of getting a lesser tip, even though your hard on for Canadians probably has you convinced it will.
