Yeh its not as bad as the American 'have a nice day' ****e, which is just aswell because I couldn't handle that. We're specifically told not to do the 'Hi, I'm Tammy and I'll be your server' spiel, they want personality whatever that means, so I say 'hows it going' and call everyone 'buddy' or 'gents' and crack jokes that noone getsDon't talk to me about the table service shyte they go on with over here. The last night the girl came over, fair enough was being sound with us, having the craic. When our pitcher was nearing empty she came back, sat down with us and was chatting away goodo for about 5mins until "hey guys, I'm going to the bar, you want me to get you another pitcher?!"..
It was the fake with a side order of fake to be honest.
Oh how I miss being able to go up and order your own pint. (grouch grouch grouch):D
Depending on the place your in, remember most of these places are actually restaurants with a bar in them. If you want to go to the bar feel free to, the waitress might give you some looks but who gives a ****, she only wanted you for your money.JustRoss23 wrote: »does tipping go on over there i cant imagine shes dressing like that to impress her mother haha. what kinda mull would one be expected to pay? say i was to order 5 pints and she brought them over how much of a tip would she be expecting?:P
Haha well i think you have to have a good apperance or be able to talk ****e:P if you are either you would probably get a job in a pub? so hopefully we will pass for either:D
Tipping is more common then at home, bartenders and waitresses should be tipped if their doing their job well. Canadians tip 10% for decent service, 15% for very good service and 20% for excellant service, for rudeness etc don't tip a penny. Don't be shy about how much or little you decide to tip, tbh I can usually make a decent guess how much of a tip I'll get. Its related directly to how much attention I've paid them. Thats when theres customers sitting at the bar, eating and drinking etc. When its busy, a dollar a drink is common, people who don't tip get ignored, make a point of throwing $5 into the tip jar at the start of the night and the bartenders will look after you, don't give anything for the next few rounds, if they're still being nice throw a little more in. Again if their rude, give nothing, if they go the extra mile and mix you some crazy drink or recommend you something you like based on the other stuff you drink, give a little more. If your clever it won't cost a **** load to keep everyone happy.JustRoss23 wrote: »People are soo shallow:o its not all about looks a girl has to be easy and Just real fun to get on hmmm;)
fixed your postJustRoss23 wrote: »Yea lad from people describing it on here you have too it seems martyn and a few others that are there should be able to clear it up:D
See aboveWhat? You cant just go up to the bar and order? Jesus that will be a serious change!!
Depends on the bar, the time of day, the day of the week. Remember alot of bars are actually restaurants with big bars in them, food is a much bigger thing in the industry here then at home, they don't want a load of drunk paddies milling around.
Since when do we as a nation care being frowned uponJustRoss23 wrote: »i think its frowned upon haha think you sit at your table and wait for them to serve you:D haha
Jesus thats different. What about a nightclub like? Surely its a free for all there!!
Yeh free for all, in the politest way possible, its not a melee of pushing and shoving like at home.0 -
Well for me I think it'll be Toronto or Calgary - all depends on what the job scene looks like in each place. Toronto is my first choice but as i work in the energy/environment sector Calgary may be more promising.
Either way I cannot wait for it though! Loving the thought of getting rid of all my baggage/belongings here and starting over somewhere different 0 -

I am dreading the parting from my stuff. I LOVE my stuff. Choosing what to bring will kill me (and I am a pack the kitchen sink for a holiday kinda person so packing will be a NIGHTMARE!!!)
Don't me started on missing pets. I have three cats and two dogs I am leaving behind. The worse thing for me is my dogs arn't young. 13 and 11 this year, and my fear is of them dying whilst I am in Can0 -
