Lost me there, I only mentioned cities I have been to and if you took offense to me not mentioning a Canadian City that is your issue. Also, you are asking TTOLers for a response but then state it is of no concern of TTOLers?

Sorry to have hit a nerve, I hope you have a nice rest of your day!

Just wanted to add one item, the reason for the auto add tip is because there are a lot of international travelers that come to SXM and other cities that do not have the same custom of tipping that we have in "North America" which for some reason is practiced on the Dutch side. Mixing people that don't tip as their custom and people that normally tip because of their usual custom creates issues for the bar and restaurant owners and employees. It is reasonable in my not very humble opinion to add a sc or tip, so I defend those that add the line item if they do it clearly without intent to take advantage of their customers and it bothers me that people take offense to those that do this properly.
