Tips for a first-time waitress?

What is the approximate Income and Tips for a Waitress in Edmonton, Alberta?

• I currently work as a waitress in NL where minimum wage is $10 and I make decent tips as well. But my boyfriend and myself are both looking to moving back to the Mainland shortly after our first child is born in November. We'll be going to Edmonton and I would like to know the average pay (per hour) for a Waitress there and approximately how much they can make up to in tips? I would like to figure out how much better I could be doing financially in the same field because we want a more comfortable life. Obviously, a waitress will make more tips based on good service and friendliness. Waitresses in NL can make up to a couple hundred in tips on a weekend night, a bit less during the weekdays. I feel that tips may generally be higher because median income is higher in AB than NL. I would love to hear answers from Edmonton's Waitresses. How much do you generally take home at the end of the night? Thanks :)

  people in alberta are selfish and snooty and don't tip. I used to be a waitress in Calgary and most people are rude
