The Week contest - Revenge of the Quebecers

Burlington, Vt., restaurants are adding 18 percent to the bills of French-speaking diners on the grounds that Quebecers are "bad tippers." If restaurants in Quebec were to retaliate, how would they get even with American tourists?

Restaurant owners in Vermont are now tacking on an automatic 18% gratuity to the checks of foreign diners to ensure their servers are properly tipped.
