U.S. shoppers complain about Canadians at Costco

[North East Goon]

They are building another Costco on 17th Ave. S.E. near Stoney Trail, that should have an interesting mix of clientele.

I've heard this. The origin is that Canadians don't tip very well (which is true, compared to Americans). The implication is that African Americans also don't tip well so a server might say something like "I've got a table full of 'Canadians'" to another server.

Yep, pretty well known word in the service industry in the states. Another one is "Mondays", because "no one likes Mondays." Absolutely ridiculous and racist and from my experience, they tip just as well as anybody. I think a lot of servers have that mentality and treat their black tables worse and receive a tip accordingly.
