It's weird man. When I went to Whistler a few months back, the americans (mind you they're rich snobs from California mostly) acted like that too, treated the workers like shit, and didn't even tip them. Yet, when I go into the states (I usually dip down into the states whenever I have to travel east), the people are so polite and friendly and I like to return the favour by being polite and friendly myself. I dunno why but Americans act like total prats whenever abroad (well from my experiences, believe me I have had alot of experience dealing with Americans).
