I would like to send some love and praise to all the good tippers out there! Thank you for understanding that in Canadian culture, it is custom to express your satisfaction with the meal, service and overall experience by leaving a little extra money to the staff at the restaurant. This money not only goes to your server, but also the person who washes your dirty dishes, the people who prepared your meal, the person who showed you to your seat, and in many cases to the person who prepared any drinks you may have enjoyed. Thank you for understanding that these days a tip of 15% is considered a good tip and that anything less than 10% is interpreted as if you did not enjoy your time at the restaurant. Also, I appreciate that you recognize that waitresses and waiters are working this job to make tips. If we wanted to work for minimum wage, we probably would have taken a job that is less physically and mentally strenuous and high-stress like serving is. So thank you so much to those who show their appreciation after a good meal by giving a good tip. It's the right thing to do. If it was a bad time, that's fine, don't leave a good tip—just don't be a cheapskate to a server who deserves better! And to all of you bad tippers out there, remember that chicks don't dig guys who don't tip and visa versa. What goes around comes around and all that junk. So, let this be a tip on good tipping for you! Thank you! —A Tired Waitress
