After reading through this thread I went and asked several waiters I know down here about the topic. The restaurant don't pay them shit here, their entire income is basically tips. Many of them have taken to asking people "where are you from?" Sounds like a normal chit chat question. But they tell me they don't even try to give extra or even good service to Canadians. They simply know it doesn't matter what they do the tip is going to suck. One lady told me "table of fucking five people, full meals, several drinks, sat there for an hour or more. Tab? 750 pesos- tip? 5 fucking pesos! (.50 US.) Fuck them and fuck Canada!"
So, if you're in Mexico you may want to claim to be from the US if asked by your waiter.
