Attorneys are subject to a strict code of ethics. Lying like this arguably violates that code.

The very system of tipping is you buying service from the server. That's the nature of the economic transaction (also, the portion of your meal price that goes to the server's hourly wage).

Society has generally agreed that 20% is the standard tip. This is not some far-out concept. Even poor but not offensive…

It really helps if you each really get off on the idea of the other one getting off.

You buy food from the restaurant and service from the server. You've already gotten the service by the time the bill comes. Good service gets a good tip (over 20%); mediocre service gets a mediocre tip (20%); bad service should be taken up with management instead of just passive-aggressively stiffing the server.

You magnificent bastard. +1

I invite you to attempt to negotiate fair wages with a service industry employer. If you take a hard line, they will just fire you.

"What should I pay the salary of someone who doesn't work for me?"

Yes, and you do it every time you spend money in the economy, bozo. Do you think the CEO of Kraft or General Mills or…

Her face says, clearly: "This hypnosis bullshit doesn't really work, but we all decided to let mom and dad think it does, because it makes them happy."

lifestyle in which parents make a choice to feed their child only natural foods that come from the earth
