Wow, I never knew people hated Canada here. I guess they watched Canadian Bacon once too many times. (The tower in Toronto is truly a nuke aimed at the White House and they plan to bankrupt America by tipping waitstaff less than the "required" 20%.)
This all is starting to belong in humor, can't believe some people are that upset over tips. Here's an idea, give better service and stop bitching abut who tips and how. Tips are supposed to show appreciation of a job, if you do a shitty job, why do you believe you still should get 20%? If you bitch abut what you d get, then you'll never truly appreciate what you have, it'll never be enough.
You chose to work in the industry, you knew the pitfalls and consequences, you knew you would have to rely on tips, deal with it.
I am a drug counselor, I work at an agency that gets it's money from the voters taxes. I made $20,005.95 last year, my wages won't increase that much after I get my LCDC or my Master's. I know that, I accept that, I'm not going to bitch when voters decide not to pass a renewal levy (someday I am sure it will happen). I can only work hard, do my best, serve my clients to the best of my ability and let my job speak for itself. That's how I can justify my job and my pay.... no one owes me shit. That's the way EVERYONE'S job is. Waitstaff is no different, if you provide a substandard service you deserve substandard pay. If someone whether they are Canadian or not decides you only deserved a 10% tip, live with it and figure out why. Don't bitch because they "only" left 10%.... you may miss what they are trying to tell you and end up watching yourself get more of those tips.
But you won't listen to me, you'll come up with more bullshit why everyone "has to/needs to tip you more" BUT you will refuse to come up with any reason why people should.
