3. We still tip

Of course the thing that pees me off beyond all belief is the clueless server who tells me, quite pointedly, when they bring the bill that 'Service is NOT included'. I suspect it is my accent that prompts them to that as I guess Brits don't tip as a matter of course. But I've been here years, and know the drill. If you point it out then I will make a point of being the stingey brit you think I am (instead of the regular Canadian tipper I normally am!)
