Just remember, if the waiter says "we're running out of that," it really means they RAN out already...
I learned that some places up there do not have the same "past tense" language as I'm used to. We were at this nice little French restaurant and I'm talking to the waiter about this dessert... He says, "we are running out of that." I say, "Ok I'll take one then," thinking I better get my order in soon...
He says again, "we are running out."
I'm thinking, "ok, bring mine quickly before someone else gets the last one!" But I got it... "Running out" doesn't just mean running out, it means there's none left!
The next morning I order an omelete and the waitress asks if I want "melting cheese" on it. Yes please! I get it now. This is the land of present tense...
So I say, Canadians rock - don't live in the past, sieze the moment!
Ok, sorry, I'm done with my diversion now.
