Tipping: Tipping is not always for a job well done

  • Tipping is not necessarily for good service but out of obligation here! Many feel obligated to do so because it is custom. Many rely on tips because service industry pays minimum wage. You generally pay 15% at restaurants and hair salons. You also tip bartenders (which I hate doing)! Some places allow you to start a tab (you must give your credit card) - this might save on tipping each time....generally $1 or so when you get a drink (usually watered down)...even for opening a bottle of $3 water! You also tip cabbies and bellboys...I don't take cabs or stay hotels here so I can't say. However, if you receive bad service, DO NOT feel obligated to tip....I have not tipped before for that reason.

    Try to do the Cn Tower stair climb-which consists of 1,769 steps and takes place in Toronto inside the tower every April.. The registration fee is $25 and all proceeds go to the "World Wildlife Fund" (WWF). If you collect more then $50 (optional)you will get a free t-shirt saying how long it took you to climb the tower to the 113 th floor-the top of the tower. The world record is 7 min 28 seconds, but it takes an "average" person about 28 minutes to compltete- not as easy as it looks.. This year the event will take place on April,24,2004 and thousands will attend. For more information, visit www.wwf.ca

  • Waitstaff and barstaff do rely on tips here as part of their wages. It is customary to leave a little extra in a club, retaurant and/or cafe if you've ordered something. The standard rate is about 15%. Of course, this is to your discretion and you can leave more or less depending on how good the service was.

    Tipping: 10%+ tips to be expected.

  • Whenever you sit down to dine, you'd expect to tip at least 10% or more. For most places 10% - 13% is enough. 15% if you're feeling generous. 20% for classier restaurants. Don't feel pressured to give really big tips (you're a tourist afterall!), and only give a generous tip when the service is exceptional.
