The Journey of a Beer
This is a short story on the tipping culture in Canada, and the extreme entitlement it creates.
Deep in the heart of golden barley fields, a farmer rises at dawn. His hands are rough from years of toil, but he takes pride in his work. He nurtures the crops, battles the elements, and harvests each grain with care. He loads the barley onto a truck, never once thinking to ask for a tip.
At the malting house, workers soak, germinate, and roast the barley, transforming it into the foundation of a great beer. The air is thick with the scent of caramelized grains. They shovel, they sweat, they perfect their craftāno tip jar in sight.
The malt travels to the brewery, where brewers measure it carefully, mixing it with water, hops, and yeast. Steam rises as they brew, tasting and adjusting, ensuring perfection. Fermentation begins, weeks pass, and they watch over the beer like devoted parents. Not one of them asks for extra cash.
Bottlers and keggers work tirelessly, sealing the liquid gold into glass and metal. Truck drivers haul the beer across cities and towns, navigating traffic and deadlines, all without demanding a gratuity.
Finally, the beer arrives at a bar.
A greasy, lazy bartender pulls a tap handle, filling a pint glass in seconds. With minimal effort, they place it on the counter, then look up with expectation, immediately bitching for a tip.
Meanwhile, the farmer, the maltster, the brewer, the packager, and the driver all carry on with their workānever once expecting a tip.
If you don't like your salary, take it up with your management and your government, little guy.
I don't owe you anything, if am feeling generous enough, I might tip, IF your service is exceptional.
Otherwise, stay quiet and do your job like the rest of us!

Super disappointing. I used to really enjoy coming to this pub, but tonight was a big disappointment. My burger and fries were flavourful, as usual. But they were served lucwarm, by staff who really couldnāt care less. No checking in to see how I was enjoying it or if I needed anything.
Which brings me to the staff. The place was quiet, not surprising for a Sunday evening. But the staff seemed more interested in chatting and looking at their phones than tending to their few customers. It took the staff about 20 minutes to clear my empty pint glass and I basically needed to send up a flare to get another pint.
While this used to be my favourite traditional pub in Montreal, it has a lot of improving to do to make it back into my list.

Perfect.. food beer and service.. would definitely recommend this place.
The atmosphere is cool, the decor is great, the food is average, but the service is way too slow.

My bartender poured me the best-looking Guiness pint Iāve seen this side of the pondā¦ I think her name was Sam - Iāll be back for more of the same, to be sure.

The live music is great but 12$ a pint of beer is pricey in my opinion. Very friendly staff. Cool place to hangout, and definitely draws in tourists.
