I think Grancey and I posted this before somewhere, but our friend who owns a couple of restaurants tells us that their code word for people who don't tip is "Canadians." Whenever any server gets a table full of people who are incredibly complicated, never satisfied, and likely to stiff the server, they all refer to them as "the table of Canadians." The implication is that since Canadians are notorious for not tipping well, then anybody else who doesn't tip is called "Canadian" no matter where they're from or what color they are.
We mentioned this to some other people who work at the Gulf Coast and deal with a lot of snowbird Canadians, and they all said, "Oh good God yes. They never, ever tip."
So, how is tipping in your culture? And what about this, my TFP Canadian brethren? Is this a fair derrogation?
