my last trip to whistler, the instructor was so glad to have us Americans, NYers in particular. We tipped him, bought him lunch, and drinks after the day was through. he said the europeans never tip.
at 2 bars, we tried very nicely to explain to the server how much it would have been to their advantage to keep us drinking as we were running up a huge tab in both places. not even drinks but to give us some free food during happy hour which they were giving away anyway. apparently this notion was as foreign to them as tipping was to their usual european customers. |
The folks at Sunday River were thrilled when I tipped my instructors. "You really didn't have to do that...that is nice," the supervisor said as I filled out two envelopes.
I didn't have to, but I saw it this way....they were really attentive to my needs, helped me out a lot, were very supportive and fun to ski with, and heck I paid almost nothing for the lesson thanks to my great package deal that we got.
