I totally have the opposite experience in Québec. Everywhere and anything in Québec feels red taped and low of customer service. Maybe I have to speak French. Speaking in English and being non white gets a degraded service in Québec.

"good service" is a bad sign for society. Americans have "good service" because low income workers are one insane customer away from their lives tipping over the edge.

Americans also complain about service in Europe, where workers are also not treating each customer interaction as a make or break situation.

Good service as in when I went to a restaurant, the waiter said "You have to tip me $10 when you are done eating".
Depends where you are in Quebec though, downtown Montreal, TMR, West Island, gay village, plateau probably fine. East end, you're going to have some troubles there bisdy
Yes. Nowadays I exclusively shop & eat around these areas. But by next year I will be saying Quebec goodbye for good. Its not just businesses here, the govt services and the police too. I am not going to fund them with my tax dollars.
