paul929207 Posted August 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I believe they prefer Canadian money, but will take US$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruisey Posted August 8, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I believe they prefer Canadian money, but will take US$ I have never heard of anyone in Vancouver preferring Canadian over $USA due to the fact that usually the $USA is worth a little more than Canadian and we have many foreign exchange outlets in Vancouver......We love $USA...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted August 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2010 We usually give them $2 per bag rounding it up to nearest $5. As a Canadian, I tip them in $CDN but they are quite happy with $US, there is no reason to rush out and purchase $CDN just to tip them.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I agree, there is no issue with US $$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey12 Posted August 8, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2010 We give whatever we have in our pocket - US and Canadian combined sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavmar Posted August 8, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I usually tip $5 per bag anywhere I travel for handlers. With the weight of bags today it is the least I can do to try and pay for the wear and tear on their backs. For $5 a bag they have always taken my bags across the street to the Fairmont Waterfront Centre as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
