yes i tip handsomely absolutely of course, i have manners. as per the charity thing, i didn’t bother because well, this isn’t really your business but i wasn’t paid for this particular post, therefore i feel it’s even-steven on that front and now everyone knows about this weekly affair thanks to my blog so i raised awareness for the charity, which is just as good (actually way more powerful). there was nothing casual (arrogant) about it, steffan refused my money. the end. http://www.palaisroyale.ca/toronto-events/public-events-in-toronto/7

EVERY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FROM NOON – 3PM
Join us for a buffet luncheon that Chef Steffan Howard and his team prepare, to show how we can all take part in cooking with local foods. Nothing fancy, just offering the beauty of the Palais Royale and the beauty of Ontario cooking to you. Proceeds go to three of our favourite charities. Minimum $15.00 donation.

Our Charities:
Hellenic Hope Centre

Established in 1999 when 6 mothers of children with special needs met to discuss the need for a support mechanism for themselves, their children and their families.Members meet to discuss and create programs which provide support and services to people with physical and special needs and their families. Day programs for adults with a developmental disability age 21 and older is currently the main focus.

Carmelina’s Home

Established in 1997 by the Passionist Sisters this charitable organization provides a long-term residential program for women with addictions and emotional issues. Carmelina’s Home believes that each individual can achieve and maintain a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle through quality care, structure and discipline.

Join the Dance Canada

Launched in 1994 as a not-for-profit project of the American Ballroom Theater Company from New York City, Join the Dance Canada is an arts-in-education program teaching ballroom dance to grades five and six students of participating Toronto schools. Subject of the documentary film Mad Hot Ballroom and its founder Pierre Dulaine, this is hailed as an effective program for not only teaching social dance but also creating an atmosphere which allows students who are typically introverted and reserved, to step out and shine. It builds self-esteem and interactive social skills as it improves confidence and children’s ability to relate to others.

When you are “working” and getting complimentary meals / drinks / extensions, do you still tip your servers?

I’m disapointed that you dodged the charity donation. I’m also curious as to what charity it was that you casually breezed by.

Not “hating” Just curious.
