RE: Tipping a dockhand
All I can say is; sometimes ignorance shines through with those that speak or in this case "type" with assumption being the bases for their intellect. My friend from Trindad had the same concept until he went back home for a visit on a "budget" and realized the cost associated with his visit and reduced his tipping to the several steel drum bands that he once played in and developed his concepts of cheap Canadians. He then realized how much it cost to travel. I would say thank God for the influx of converted Canadian money into the US economy taking into the consideration of it's state right now. Tipping is based on "service" not %'s both US & CAN. I for one tip where I go and know many other Canadian that are the same. Elwin
