Please explain how it's clueless. If I'm running a business and find that the customers aren't satisfied. I want to find out why. And one of the reasons a lot of people aren't happy with a restaurant are bad food and terrible service. The best ways to improve service is to teach, work with the server, or give the

Sorry that I have to make it a hypothetical, I haven't spent any time doing a case study on the subject, just going from my experiences and those of friends in the business.

I'm going to assume you were a crappy server, based on your terrible (and all knowing) opinion of the way every restaurant in existence works. My friends that are servers here, I talk to them on this subject quite often. They ask me for financial advice (as that's what I do) and I talk to them about all this stuff.

I forget you know everything about everything. The servers I "stiff" are the ones that don't care. So please tell me how my experiences are wrong. If you're waiting on people that are bad tippers, then that's the luck of the draw, but as a whole, the people that get stiffed by customers that typically leave decent

Honestly, I spend more on drink tabs than food. 3 beers more than covers what I would normally eat.

I don't think it even has to be fine dining. As a family of 4, if you go out, you can expect $60 or so for a bill. 15% of 60 is $9. If you've got 5 tables and they all tip 15 (some will tip more, some less) you stand to make $45 in tips in an hour (approx. eating time). That's a hell of a lot better than what I make.

True, but you actually cared about your job. The servers that get stiffed on their tips are usually the ones that don't care. They're really not going to care if they are guaranteed money.

My dad and I used to have a weekly dinner at one restaurant. We'd walk in the door and before we could get from the line to the table, there were two sweet teas (one with straw), silverware, extra napkins, and a bottle of hot sauce at the table we liked. We definitely left a bit extra tip there.

Exactly! Cleaning those up (grinding them down and blending them into the natural belt line) would make a hell of a difference in my opinion of the price.

They've threatened to disallow the event in the past couple years. Normally there are police on site here, but that's one of the reasons I don't go anymore. To much of that nonsense.

The third one was a lazy putt, but I won't feel bad for him. I lip about 6-7 times a round every round. The guys I play with can't believe how often it happens to me.

You can drive a semi here in the states with a regular license, you just can't be paid for it.

I love seeing the speedo skip 25-30 kph because it can't keep up!

Whether he did or didn't, if he was smart he'd have joked it off talking with EA by saying something to the effect of "When I said I grooved one, I meant I was trying to throw something in the strikezone...Have you seen Jeter play? He can hit anything"

It's an unusual response and I quite like it. It's refreshing to see an executive being demonstrative about their frustration rather than sweeping it under the rug as is the typical. Calling Airbus out publicly like that may not be the most professional way to handle it, but he knows it will solve any future problems

Freeman makes incredible plays like that all the time. The defensive combo of him and Andrelton Simmons is half the reason the Braves stay in contention.

That's about what I was thinking. Thanks!

I've watched a couple flight videos lately. I'm curious about something that perhaps someone here could tell me. Seems like quite often the pilots will flip the plane over about 150* to make a turn, and then undo the turn. Why don't they just complete the roll?

That red Celica is pretty nice looking. Toyota's just don't do it for me. Now that being said, they could make for some fun ridiculous cars. An old Toyota minivan with a 500hp AWD setup...maybe a Camry with a big block and giant blower?

The LFA? If I was given one, I'd drive it, then sell it to buy something else. It just doesn't speak to me. The corolla isn't my bag, and the land cruiser is awesome, but I'd rather have a Land Rover or Scout/Bronco of similar vintage.
