In Canada they get min wage which is in BC $8/hr. So they get paid. I tip when good service, I tip some for ok service and none for bad service.

jackass... we are basically saying the same thing... yet you "wouldn't expect me to get it"... because i have no "class" (using your best forum Donald Trump vs Rosie impression)
as you said above... i don't see tips as being an entitlement. of course i tip.
its not what waiters and waitresses gets paid that influences my decision. the hourly wage is lower because the hourly wage isn't their sole source of income on the job and has almost ZERO to do with their actual earnings. what they earn depends on them, their skill and whether or not they are professional and do a great job.
