What's The Difference Between A Canoe And A Canadian?

Just saw a post about a no tipping restaurant that was going to pay its employees about $13.00 an hour and provide benefits.  I hope that works out.  I worked for tips in a past life and some days were great and other days it was fortunate that the restaurant also provided a free meal, for which they paid me and then deducted it from my pay.  Just like the tip sometimes the meal was great and other times I think the prep cook ran out of ideas for leftovers.

Tipping is an idea whose time has past.  Some customers don't tip at all, some tip a small amount, and some servers probably don't deserve a tip.  I'm always amused when I go pick up a pizza at a joint near my house that there is a tip jar for the person behind the cash register.

Charge the right price and pay the workers appropriately.  $2.18 plus tips isn't the minimum wage at a lot of places.

I went out for a beer with a cousin when visiting relatives in Canada.  I offered to pay for the first round of beers.  The server brought back four drafts(relatively small classes) and I was going to include $1.00 when paying the bill.  My cousin said the dollar would be enough of a tip for the whole evening.  He said folks were paid differently in Manitoba.  We actually had a couple more rounds of beer and walked back to his house.

Canoe's tip but I'm not sure about a lot of Canadians.
