> you are actually implying that service in Canada is somehow particularly great.

I was saying that service in Canada is noticeably "better" than service in Australia.

So what I'm actually implying, is that service in Australia is quite "lacking". By lacking I mean nobody "waits" on you. You often order at the bar, pickup your own food and cutlery, re-fil your own water and walk to the bar to buy yourself a drink.

Even a "sit down" restaurant will really only take your order and bring your food, nothing more. Fancier is different, but then you're paying more for the food.

As I said, I'm perfectly happy with that level of "service" because it means no tipping.

Of course, minimum wage in Australia is $21.38 with benefits, leave, healthcare, etc. etc. For everyone.
