One of the things that I notice when I travel to Toronto, Ottawa, and Kingston is that while the general quality of women is lower than DC (yeah, that bad, especially if you are a "face man" like me) the quality of hired guns (waitresses, female bar tenders, etc...) is much higher. It's like your in the Aral Sea of fat (not american fat) uggos at the bar and the only thing that is tempting is behind the bar. I only care for Canadian microbrews and Bloody Ceasars when I am there, so the hired guns must despise me for not ordering LI Iced Teas for the girls.
How bad is this up there? I went to an East Side Mario's (chain Italian family style restaurant that is actually has very good food) in a western sprawl suburb of Kingston surrounded by Walmarts, Canadian Tires, and Best Buys and EVERY single waitress was a hired gun. There were no waiters or male bar staff. This place was miles from the downtown part of Kingston and probably inaccessible to students at the local universities (Queen's, RMC, and St. Lawrence). I would have expected this on Princess Street, Crescent Street, or Queen West, but it really shocked me to see it out in the middle of completely bland suburbia.
I don't really see this much in DC or other places that I travel in the USA. There are a few club type places that do this but for the most part the bar tenders are guys and the waitresses are nothing to talk about. Any talent that you see tends to be civilian, not mercenary. Why is this? I sort of saw the same thing in Montreal, but it didn't seem as blunt or as universal.
