It doesn't indicate that the rest tip at a higher percentage.

The posting by six TFP members who say they live in Canada and tip "15 to 20 percent" is not "proof", compared to credit card data combined with anecdotal remarks by others on that thread and on the internet at large.

I posted an article that says that the average tip in my market is 19 percent.
Remarks and articles abound on the internet and in print referring to US patrons as above average tippers. I've invited you or anyone else to post references of Canadian or other foreign tipping practices.

"Proof" would have to rise to a point, if it is to seriously challenge my contentions, to where it at least equaled what I posted to support my opinions. If you think you've done that on the other thread, I guess that the author of the joke, "what is the difference between a Canadian and a canoe?" owes you an apology, or Canadian tipping habits deteriorate when they travel out of Canada.
Read the other thread host, it's all been proved. Wow you posted an article, that's hard to believe, we posted an informal survey of Canadians in that thread not people saying they live in Canada, actual Canadians, unless you're saying we're lying about where we're from. But if that the case maybe you're lying aboot being a waiter to trool Canadians because you have such a hard on for us, and our informal survey that proved your article wrong, using actual Canadians, not just you're 'article' or 'data' that suits your argument.. Come on host, I know you're usually used to people just getting tired of your regurgitating the same old shit over and over, but even you can admit when you're wrong.

Here host I'll post it for a fourth time to see if you actually read the words this time or just see what you're blinders allow you to see.

You're posting of a Yahoo Answers link, or a distressed waitress link with TWO mentions of Canadians on the 'bad tippers forum' is proof? Of course it is because it supports your rather flimsy 'argument' and your questionable 'data'. Don't ignore others posts host like you usually do, you've lost this one, just man up and admit it. You tried stereo typing all Canadians as bad tippers and did a horrible job, we all know it, you know it, now just be man enough to admit you fucked up and should have 'researched' your data better. Or you could always respond to the other thread with better data, rather than just ignoring it.

One out of 33 mentions of Canadians, yep there's your 'proof' host, your own Yahoo Answers doesn't even support your 'argument'.

Oh yeah here's the 'survey' again, and it's more than 6 Canadians.

We have posted references, from actual Canadians, it isn't our fault you choose to ignore it, even your own 'references' are flimsy at best, they don't exactly do a grreat deal to support your side when ONE out of 33 people mention Canadians on your Yahoo Answers link.

You haven't posted shit to support your opinions, you've posted forum links and Yahoo Answers links that are just other peoples opinions that you are regurgitating and trying to say they're a fact, when in fact they are just opinions and we all know opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

You'd think then that more than 1 person on Yahoo Answers would be complaining about Canadians if your 'proof' is so good. As I said in the other thread host, you can find articles on the internet to support fucking sheep if you like, so I don't know why you put so much credibility in these forum links and yahoo answers OPINIONS.

You keep citing a joke like it's a fact, do you know how many American jokes there are? Are all of them fact? Going by your reasoning they must be.

But you keep twisting the information and reading what you want to read, you haven't proved anything. You're looking more and more like a whinnying child who thinks he's always right than like an adult.

I'll refer you back to the other thread host if you'd like to continue this discussion as to not thread jack this thread anymore
