I always try to tip according to the service the waitstaff provides, if they're extra attentive, then I get them some extra. I also hate it when parents let their kids run rampant throughout the restaurant.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132120572371989272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496812796098665299.post-85743264517731189272007-07-25T14:59:00.000-04:002007-07-25T14:59:00.000-04:00You have some good points. :) I must admit I'd pr...You have some good points. :) I must admit I'd probably fall under your sh-- list with the tipping and the separate checks issues. Allow me to e'splain: <BR/><BR/>Tipping - There is one main reason why I wouldn't tip... <BR/><BR/>Poor service: I've come across some wait staff who didn't even bother introduce themselves. My thought is that if a waiter/tress can't even be kind enough to tell me his/her name, why should I give a tip? I once had a waiter who didn't even check on us for upwards of 45 minutes after we received our food!! Huh? Surely he shouldn't have gotten a tip, right? *scratch head* And if a waiter/tress has a foul attitude, then a tip is definately out of the question. My tips are totally commensurate with the quality of service.<BR/><BR/>Separate checks - I hate it when people sit at a table and haggle over dollar bills in public to pay the check. I don't know why, but it really bothers me for some reason. I had lunch with a gal from college and didn't want to haggle with cash at the lunch table, so I put the tab on my credit card. We agreed that she'd pay me back later. HA!!! Moral of the story, I *always* ask for separate checks when I'm at a restaurant with someone who I don't want to and/or can't afford to feed. :)ekgheiyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829093113564663939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496812796098665299.post-37673465098794238472007-07-24T22:01:00.000-04:002007-07-24T22:01:00.000-04:00Aww, I'm sorry that you've been having such a toug...Aww, I'm sorry that you've been having such a tough time at work. However, it's nothing a good bit of knitting therapy can't fix!!!! lol And I LOOOVE your Center Square Hat - I've really enjoyed the little bit of FI work I've done but couldn't think of anything else to make. I never liked this hat from Knitty.com but I really like yours! Great choice on the colors :DRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100139999810082295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496812796098665299.post-3131314237288679882007-07-24T12:00:00.000-04:002007-07-24T12:00:00.000-04:00I just want to shout AMEN!

I'm glad to hear the 20% tip guideline is still out there. That's my baseline unless I'm treated really bad.MotherHenKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602291186270625154noreply@blogger.com
