Right on Pat!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> The new thing now in the States is a lot of restaurants are doing "No Tipping". They are including the tips in their prices and paying the staff more money. Makes sense, why don't they all do it that way??? Americans are so self conscious when it comes to tipping, especially in SXM.
