Has anyone ever been a waitress/waiter or a bartender in Canada? I was just wondering yuor personal observations on the best tippers and the worst. My girlfriend has worked in Ottawa, Montreal Toronto and Cancouver and she made me a list of tippers from best to worst. Of course there have always been exceptions. 1. Americans - they better be the best tippers because their money is worth more! I guess tipping in the states is just more understood? Maybe they like to look like big shots? Whatever the reason, thanks american! 2. Italians, especially the males. 3. People who work/have worked in restaurants 4. Middle aged, english-canadian business men 5. Homosexuals 6. 20 something males, english canadian 7. 20 something females, english canadian 8. Families with grown children 9. Middle-aged French canadian men 10. 20 something males, French-canadian 11. 20 something females, french-canadian 12. families wiith young children 13. middle aged english canadian women 14. government workers 15. New to canada asians 16. senior citizens 17. middle-aged french canadian women 18. Natives

I am an American and I am pleased to see that we Americans are number one on the list :). I believe we do understand exactly how much of a tip should be given. I believe an American wrote a book on how much people should tip depending on the type of job and service you recieve if I am not mistaken :).
