If only you were an oddity. Haven't you ever heard the joke, "What's the
difference between a canoe and a Canadian?"

Canoes tip.

I do tip. From personal experience it is the unusual Canadian that does not
tip.

The question became what is an appropriate tip. I have been informed that
15% before taxes is no longer the standard - at least according to one
poster here.

*shrug*

I might also add that I tip progressively. I figure the wait staff in the
low end diner work harder and deserve a proportionately higher tip than the
high end restaurant.

But that's a personal belief.
