This also applies to discounts and freebies from promotions and Groupons. Just because your drinks and appetizers were happy hour-prices doesn’t mean it took me any less work or lowered my service.

ok but whyyyyyy do i love their glazed donuts?? i’m a closet DD actual donut fan. hehehehe

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

For monsters it is

Anything over twenty percent is great with me. Saturday night, I had a table of four twentysomething ladies who tipped fifty percent and salvaged what was otherwise a mediocre weekend.

Same. I’d be ashamed to tip less than 20%, unless the service was really crappy. I tip 20% as a bare minimum, often more. And I quietly add some “discretion money” whenever I’m dining with a friend and notice that the tip they’re leaving is miserly. (My elderly dad was the worst... he was adamant that 10% was the…

I used to love Kix! Been at least 10 years since I had it, though.

Kind of like those weirdos who chew steak and then spit it out.

What does Soylent Green taste like? It varies from person to person.

I’m not sure you understood my point but Gratz on the ability to find 15%.

Tried it for a month. I know they warn you, but my marriage almost didn’t survive the horrible gas you get from it. I heard it goes away eventually but I couldn’t wait. Wife and co-workers were going to murder me.

You are killing it! I do have a fair amount of tables that benefit from my 50% late night happy hour. They usually tip accordingly but people that tip on the amount the bill should have been, I remember. I also sneak them mess up drinks and also offer last call well past the shitty tippers.

You are doing it exactly right!

When I waited tables and averaged about 18%, I took notice every time a tip topped 20%. That was above average in my book, and the actual amount didn’t matter so much as the appreciation it represented. So when I think service is great, I always leave a couple extra bucks because even though it doesn’t make a big…

I’m kind of surprised the figure is so low actually. I occasionally leave 30% tips for what I see as really good service without any intention of trying to be memorable (my standard tip is 20% rounding up to nearest dollar).

This is the awning of the age of hilarious.

Well, that means they are going to have to ship all those Patriots Super Bowl Champions t-shirts somewhere in the third world, like South Boston.

By the way, someone cut together a bunch of different angles of Brady missing that catch in the first half:

Good news for fans of science fiction’s greatest f-bomber, Chrisjen Avasarala.

It is funny, I can’t even properly describe why. If you put a blind tasting of Sapporo and Asahi in front of me, I don’t even know if I could pick out the right one, but with lunch, I definitely have a preference. That David Chang article about crap beer going with rich food makes me think there should be an honest…
