In Québec, service industry employees (bartenders/servers/delivery people) are automatically taxed 15% of their income on each paycheque, so anything less than 15% is an insult - basically you are saying that they should work for free ...

If the service is exceptionally poor/bad, I have on occasion deliberately tipped less than 15% ... but you have to be careful ... if you are east of Pie IX in pepper country, tipping less than 15% could very easily get you booted out of a restaurant and told not to come back ...

Myself and a couple other webmasters went for supper one night a few years back, and my tab was around $270-ish ... I thought nothing of it and just gave her an even $300 ....

HOLY HANNAH you want to see a server lose her fucking mind!!! LOL She read me the riot act - and then some!!

This is how I became so educated at the taxes that servers pay in Quebec!
