'Really upsetting': Drayton, Ont. server shortchanged on tip because of vaccination status

Receipt

A Drayton-area server says she was shortchanged on a tip from a customer after telling them she hadn't yet received a COVID-19 vaccine.

The server, Brooke Rew, says a customer asked if she had been vaccinated against COVID-19. Rew says she told the man the truth – that she hadn’t yet, but planned to before she returned to school in the fall.

Rew says the man then shortchanged her tip, and left a note on the receipt saying she'd get the rest when she gets vaccinated.

"The fact that he's basing my tip off of the vaccination, not on the service provided, is really upsetting to me," Rew said.

'It stunk to high heaven': Wastewater leak closes traffic at busy Kitchener roundabout

Bridgeport roundabout

A flood of sewage in the Bridgeport area of Kitchener on Wednesday caused a major traffic headache in the city.

Crews initially thought it could take weeks to repair the damage, but the roundabout ended up reopening on Friday.

Witnesses described seeing a "geyser of poop" when the wastewater leak occurred.

A sewer pipe that runs underground burst, with water pressure seemingly strong enough to break parts of the concrete above it.

"It stunk to high heaven, I'll tell you that," said Tony Wojnowski, who lives near the roundabout. "It wasn't appetizing, let's put it that way."
