Canadians/poor tippers

[Paul Johnson]

Bad tippers do come in all sizes, but honest generalizations will tell

Best are, other people in the business, the self made wealthy, musicians
and entertainers (but not their managers) and semi connected wise guys.

>(Of course now it's our xenophobic border regs that're keeping Canadians away.)
