The device he used sounded like something one of my friends built for research at the University of Tulsa. They built something that threw a bunch of different codes and in about thirty seconds could disable the alarm, unlock the doors, and start the car. It was pretty impressive.

I wish I would have seen the submission article for this. I took my 01 Land rover disco in to the dealership to get the superlock removed(a feature that allows your car to lock you out of it? Don't know why this is a thing). Well when I got it back the rear doors wouldn't open from the outside. So I took it back to…

I have an older discovery that I'd love to offroad, but I'm 100% positive that it would break down if I even drove it on gravel much less a "trail."

I hope you're not a regular at any restaurants in your town, because they will remember you, and you will get shitty service for being a shitty customer.

You are correct in saying that the point of a restaurant is to sell food to customers, but for now, customers also pay for the service. Whether or not it should be this way makes no difference. That is how it is.

You shut the hell up. I wait tables because I make more money doing it this way than anything else I can do right now. If you don't like the way the restaurant business is run then maybe you should do something to change it? I, however, enjoy the money that I make and most people aren't assholes and tip, so I don't…

I was just saying, leaving a smaller tip and saying something to the server or maybe the manager would probably have a better impact than just leaving them nothing. Even if you do leave them nothing at least tell them or the manager that you didn't just stiff them to be an asshole, that way the server can learn…

If you're bill is $20 to $30 dollars though, which, from personal experience is pretty much the upper range of the most expensive meals I'm willing to pay for as a college student, a $3-$5 is more than a good tip, and isn't that much more on the customers end.

You're right, leaving a tip is optional, and it's also not incredibly difficult to be a good server, but what I am saying is that if a server does "earn it" in your opinion, you should tip them well. The 15% no matter what comes from me being a server so I like to tip better than most, but if the service is good or…

Just a heads up, I am a server. However, I agree with you. 20% is a great tip. If you think your server did a good job, tip 20%, but if their service was just average or below average they don't deserve it(myself included).

As a server, I would say if you don't leave a tip, you're automatically an asshole customer. Even if I thought I wasn't doing a good job, all of that would go out the window if a customer stiffed me. That being said, I would complain, or at least say something to your server. Don't be an asshole about it though. Or no…

I don't think that's what they're saying. I think the quality of workers as a whole would decrease if there were no tips. As it stands, good servers try their best to give good service so that they get a better tip, and this works better for everyone. People who are motivated to give themselves a chance to make more…

No, no it doesn't. I wait tables and I hardly ever make less than $10 an hour. I would be pissed if they switched to the normal minimum wage. I'd probably quit my job. It wouldn't be worth it.

As a server, I would say that your assumption is 100% correct.

I thought the exact same thing. The restaurant I work at does it that way.

It depends on the restaurant, at the place where I work, we do exactly like you say, and get everything we earned in cash at the end of our shift.

As a server, I can say that, while I prefer getting tips in cash, if you tip me well, I don't give two shits how you do it. Also, if you're regularly tipping 20%, you are a saint. Don't ever worry about how much you're tipping if that's your usual go to. I would say 15% is a minimum if the service is bad, just as a…

Well I'm a college student who waits tables to pay those bills. If you can't afford to tip well, you can't afford to eat out. If your service is bad the least you should tip is 15%. If the service is good, 20%. More if the bill is less. If the service is exceptional, tip a shitload. If someone gives me 10% it is…

I've used that line, "Hey, it's got four wheel drive, why not?" to justify many bad decisions made in vehicles.
