I havent seen anyone relate it to Kelowna,,, just to the food industry, maybe I missed it.

That's probably what FC read.

This is Kelowna...Home of the cheapest tippers in the country.

It's how they can afford to drive their expensive cars..

I dont see MAP saying anything about the reciept being from here, altho he might have, I took it as his comment to the comments being made in this thread about the tipping style. You'd have to ask him what he meant.
At any rate I dont think its any different here then anywhere, people will pay nicely for good service anywhere.
I have always heard Doctors and Lawyers will pay less then the middle class for the same service unless its a public fundraiser where they would look bad not doing so.

Just a note to all of you servers and ex-servers-(and I tip generously when it is earned)........you might also consider that I have to dig even deeper at tax time to cover for the money you stole from us by not reporting it as income. she was well within her rights to tip or not tip for any reason!

Has any one thought that , maybe , this chick got stuck with the bill because everyone else either split on her or had no money ???

If so , at least she had the moxie to pay whats due..

[Smurf]

I don't know why she even explained herself. Tipping is not mandatory. She should have just left well enough alone instead of pointing it out like it was a problem. I would say she felt bad but for some reason just couldn't do it.

Tip or not , If that were my credit card number ,or recipt, that bitter server wouldn't be a server anymore...

This is Kelowna....Home of crappy customer service.

Here is a list of wages in all the American States. Employees who receive tips can be paid as little as $2.33/hr.
They live or die on their tips. You can be darn sure that you will receive good service from those who are trying to make a living as a server. If you have traveled at all in the States, you will know what I am talking about. The level of service there is immeasurably better.

Absolutely! Everytime I go a restaurant in the states, the service is outstanding.

Agreed, there are two sets of numbers and a signature on that reciept even tho the accuont number was scratched off. If it was mine and I saw it on the net I would be looking to see what could be done to this server for posting it. I hope she spots it and causes some trouble for this selfish server.

Have you been to some of the bigger cities in AB? Not sure what it is like now, but a few years ago all you needed was two feet and a pulse to work in service. Didn't matter how crappy you were, they needed the bodies.

i doubt yahoo picked it up off a here

Could be the problem right there in BC too, maybe they have a hard time finding good workers. I have to agree with what someone earlier said,,, food service in the US and even other countries is ten fold what we get here. Even as a kid I remember people serving food as if it was just a job. One older lady when I was a kid in a hotel during our travels was mad at her boss or someone and she slapped our silverwear on our table when we had to ask for it, my mom was really put out by that and she never got a tip. I remember umpteen times over my years sticking my arm or wrist on some sticky goo on the table... Yuk thats a turn off no matter what age you were when it happens.

I saw this picture on an Astral Radio station Facebook in QC this morning.

Which makes me think it might not even be from a Kelowna custome.r

Considering it was posted to Reddit (which is linked in almost every news report on this) a day prior to being posted on Castanet, it's probably fair to say it didn't originate here.
