(yes... I was a waiter at one time)

Not here. Even the main tourist rag, The Yucatan Today, suggest giving your tip directly, in cash, to your server. Anything on the card and the restaurant is going to take half if not all of it.

But aside from that, I bet they are comparing Canadians to Americans and, as is evident from this thread, Americans are obscenely generous in their largesse.

Getting killed down here? I've heard of two in Playa several years back and some lady who may or may not have gotten herself into some trouble with a crooked business deal. Mexico seems to think she did it, the Canadians seem to think she's getting screwed. I don't know.
There's a large Expat community here, esp. in the winter months. I've not heard of any problems other then the odd break-in here and there. Could just be the area I'm in? Merida is listed as one of the safest cities in North America with a pop of one million or more.
