Thank you. I assume that's for meals, right? I didn't know you'd tip even for takeout.15-20%, less for takeout. Wait staff are paid a lower minimum wage as tipping is expected.
I think this is a generational thing and also a worked in tipped service vs. not, but even if you are picking up a to go order, someone is typically taking the time to box everything properly, label it if it’s a larger order with specific instructions, making sure condiments and everything else is correct, etc. And they are doing all of this while still most likely making tipped employee wage, which is well under minimum wage in most places. Restaurants typically don’t hire a ‘to go’ person but rather depend on their servers and bartenders to get all of this prepared and out the door while still navigating the in-house patrons.Thank you.

And how about self-service cafe, house keeping at hotel, cab/uber??
I looked at the website and I cannot find where it says closed?Aw man, this place looked really good with vegan goodies on the menu, but they're closed for renovations https://www.sweetlees.ca/en/home-2
I used to live near the Lucien L’Allier station way before the Bell Centre was built and it was kind of terrifying at night. That’s changed now that the area has been built up and gentrified.LOL, I did say it was stupid but have found the small travel packs less readily available at kiosks and convenience stores (aka depanneurs or “deps”) than before.

Lucien L’Allier is a quite deep station btw, expect several escalator flights and a few minutes to exit and reach the Bell Centre. Fun fact, you’ll pass by the commuter trains I take all the time. Sadly the last one leaves at 9:15pm so stuck taking the bus home anyway during Worlds.
And there's always toilet paper in case of severe tissues shortage (Of the other way round)ha. I had the same reaction. Canada still has lots of options for buying tissues, so unless people have some sort of an "addiction" to the Kleenex brand, they will be just fine.
Interestingly, I just grabbed some camping tissue to have with me at Centre Bell. From experience, it will take the venue until Friday to figure out how often they need to resupply the restrooms.And there's always toilet paper in case of severe tissues shortage (Of the other way round)

I remember once when I was still in Ohio, I had a $250 or so to go order with very, very meticulous instructions for each of the people who had ordered. It took even longer to get all of that ready than just having served a table, and I was handed exact change. Just delightful.
Thanks, sheetz! That video is so helpful. Another question for people in Montreal- are there public restrooms in the subway station?For anyone wanting to take bus 747 from YUL to downtown this video guides you step by step.

But everyone will still call it Kleenex despite the brand .ha. I had the same reaction. Canada still has lots of options for buying tissues, so unless people have some sort of an "addiction" to the Kleenex brand, they will be just fine.
Good point, Bonaventure is probably less hassle than Lucien L'Allier.LOL, I did say it was stupid but have found the small travel packs less readily available at kiosks and convenience stores (aka depanneurs or “deps”) than before.

Anyhow, there seems to be another bakery that has vegan items near Verdun Auditorium:

OK, I finally got the tickets to print without an error message. Phew.Yes, I can. Although the print-outs have a tiny QR code which may or may not be easy to be scanned.
ETA: I just purchased practice tickets for my friend and, yes, Debbie, you are right. When I hit "Print tickets," the screen says "Sorry, there was an error with your ticket." But the tickets are in my Eventbrite app and I can send them to Apple Wallet if I want to. Instead I hit Share Ticket and sent them to my friend. Hope this works.
It looks like either a technical glitch or Skate Canada disabling PDF option?
I would doubt it. Secondary rinks don't usually have a box office and typically the procedure is show your ticket, usual bag search/metal detector, and off you go. There's nothing in the email we got to indicate tickets will be sold in person.Does anyone know if practice rink tickets can be purchased at the venue on the day of the event? I would rather avoid using paypal...

Not recently but my DH has been there a few times over the years for hockey and says that he wasn’t cold at ice level or in the 200 level.Has anyone been to a Habs game or other ice event at Centre Bell recently? How cold is it? And is the 200 level significantly warmer than ice level?
Thanks for the skating info! I'm trying to decide whether or not to pack my skates. I see that skates are in the approved carry on list for both US and Canada, so at least I don't have to worry about checking them.For anyone interested in skating, the weather has sadly be so warm or variable this winter that I managed to skate outdoor on natural ice exactly once. Even the Lac Aux Castors on top of Mount Royal is closed. The artificial outdoor rink at L'esplanade Tranquille near Place des Arts should still be open, they have skates rental service and lockers and sometimes events going on. Otherwise the indoor one at the Atrium 1000 in the underground downtown system is open but skating outdoors near Place des Arts is much nicer.
Yes, you can just show up, but if you do ArriveCAN, you get an expedited lane.Must arrivecan be completed before arriving? Can you just show up with a us passport and I’d?
My experiences is that the skaters do more full run throughs earlier and lighter ones the day of.I’ve gotten practice tickets for Monday and Tuesday, but not sure whether I’d even have much chance to go thereafter since the competition will have begun. Any thoughts/recommendations from those who’ve analyzed the schedules?

I found one from the Vancouver Olympic Games. Can I still use it!?If anyone still has a Skate Bug (audio receiver) from prior Canadian events, bring it along. Ted Barton doing interviews etc in the arena.
