@Giles yeah, they are basically just preying on people who dont want to hit no tip, they have this giant ipad where you touch one of the three buttons or you hit no tip and they are standing there looking at you, I imagine the employees dont expect it or care but the whole setup is just uncomfortable and alot of people end up tipping.

The whole other crazy thing is that the preset tip options include the tax in the calculation, so your tipping on the sales tax as well, small amount but really adds up after years.

CBC has done alot of content about it but this is the most recent:

@Graeme its getting pretty out of hand in Canada, default tip option at the liquor store is 18%, 20% and 25%, everywhere from Subway to Starbucks to Bakeries have tip options here now and it's usually either 15, 20, 25 or even in some cases its 20, 25, 30.

Everyone says its because Square and Toast don't give the option to skip it, but I have had food where they use Square and they offer way lower tip options. I do wonder if you tip at a liquor store or whatever, where does that money go? It always feels to me they are just asking me "are you willing to pay more for what your buying?" when I see the option and received 0 assistance or anything.

Post soak it's fitting like a dream!

@Setanta awesome, I committed and soaked it, just partially drying now before I throw it on in the morning to set some creases!

I did have a UHF and tshirt under, which ill likely not have this buttoned if i have a flannel and tshirt under when actually wearing it, maybe just a warm soak not hot?

Could I get some pre-soak size advice? I went for XXL because P2P and waist (i got a bit of a barrel) seemed best, overall pretty happy with the fit knowing itll tighten up a bit but have concern around the shoulders mostly, they feel like I am wearing football pads at the moment as they stick up a bit.

My hunch is that with a good warm soak itll calm down and also tighten up, any insights? Seems from shrink tests shoulders have a decent amount of shrinkage in them also. Just dont want to soak and then it still feel like football shoulders.

Yeah that looks awesome, makes me really excited to receive mine, also happy to see in the pre/post shrink the horizontal measurements shrank the least just like the tests

The measurements look so good, I wasn't planning on getting this but every time I look at it I want it more and more

One of those cases where you basically win nothing by making a video to complain about something like this but you do sour alot of people on what you are trying to do

That video today was so well executed
