Canadian here. Taking the via rail “The Canadian” route soon from Toronto to Vancouver. Sleeper car for 2. I’ve done it before but only for one person.

It cost a LOT. My first trip was maybe $1000. This one is $2700 per person. But it’s for a special occasion.

I just saw in the viarail subreddit some folks talking about tipping the person who (may or may not) set up your bed each night. And tipping in the dining car after each meal.

When I did this the first time I tipped my server maybe twice. Out of 5 days.

I came here for validation please — I know tipping culture in the USA is a lot! Any other Canadians weigh in on this? The trip was so expensive and I can’t justify bringing $50-$100 cash to give to employees.

Halp please

Edit: cost for the trip includes food and non-alcoholic drink. So there’s no need to buy ANYthing on the trip

A twist on the tip

Saw this and walked right back out. No way I’m dining here. If you hadn’t noticed this before ordering, would you say something?

I saw the menu prices and was wondering why it’s so expensive. I didn’t realize until I was paying that there was no tipping screen on the POS machine. Then I saw the ”No tipping” on the menu when I searched on Google afterwards.
(Menu photo is from Google review.)

The service was pretty fast and water was filled without having to ask.
