I'd LOVE to be able to put a sign up at the door of restaurants, "Our servers make $2.13 an HOUR, so FUCKING TIP YOU CHEAP BASTARDS."

People who don't tip, suck. Period.

Yea, I don't get the no tipping thing. Especially when someone knows that's the standard custom. Maybe folks in Canada get paid working in food service, no idea. Here and in the states, no tip, no income. Like I said earlier... want to dine out and not tip? Dine in a place where that's the custom.. like Canada. Basically if you don't want to tip, stay home.

Look to the real problem, the wages paid, not that the customers are 'cheap bastards', people work hard for their money, and as I said before, don't like the tip someone leaves, speak up, I'm sure they'll gladly take the tip back and you can get sweet fuck all.

Or the alternate solution is always...........find a better job.

Look you want to stay home and not tip, fine. Seems to be the standard custom. A lot of places don't work, have never worked the way you're suggesting. I would not go to another country and disregard a custom such as this anymore then I would travel to the Middle East and start asking people to look at the bottom of my feet or shake my left hand.

When you travel it is usually standard to adhere to the customs of the places you travel, not demand the visited country change to your customs.
