then why not just film it in Russian or whatever?

This whole column should be called “How to guilt people into screwing themselves and paying me more.” None of this advice is geared towards actually improving a dining experience. It is just a how-to guide for waitstaff to get larger tips.

You saw one recommendation of a memoir written by a women comedy author, and your first response was to recommend FIVE books written or compiled by men? Way to illustrate Scovell’s book.

Boring people.

Ahhh tax evasion, the reason most wait staff are actually against getting a livable wage and abolishing tips.

Some restaurant owners will even deduct credit card processing fees (usually around 2-3 percent) from a server’s tips, so a nice 18 percent tip ends up somewhere around a mediocre 15 percent tip in my pocket.

Judd Apatow is pathetic. His films are way too long and not funny unless the cast is riffing. He takes all the credit for Freaks and Geeks, which was not his show. His Netflix attempt at standup was unbearable and steeped in faux self-deprecation. The longer his career goes and the more I read about him (including his…

The only “inappropriate statements” towards the Fuller House writers room that I can imagine are things like “you’re doing a wonderful job” and “you should all be proud of yourselves.”

Amazing win. “Taught” him in clinics when he was a 6 year old creating havoc at the tennis center, so super cool to see him win a title.

But he isn’t actually committing murder, and the guy applied to be a subject on the show with Derren Brown like everyone else does. Brown doesn’t just pick a person at random: he’s pretty frank that his shtick doesn’t work on everyone. He’s also done other shows about how mobs act which resulted in a crowd of people…

Yo, Aimee, Derren Brown has done loads of documentaries debunking pseudoscience and supposed miracles. He makes no pretence that what he does is magical or gifted. But he does do what he does, and regularly tours live.

yeah, it’s so emotionally and physically taxing to... uh... bring a second set of silverware to a table?

Wait...I’m supposed to worry about the waitress’ tip rather than enjoy what I want? I never knew that.

As long as I tip 20% or better on what I order...why do you care?

Get out of here. I go to a restaurant to order what I want off the menu... not to give charity to the staff.

In other words.. F U you cheap bastard. I NEEED MY MONEY!

Some people are nervous about eating a Chicago style hot dog. I get it, masculinity is complex. But it’s actually really enjoyable if you try to just enjoy it are are content with your diet.
