I don't really tip in coffee shops. You can leave your change, but it's not completely necessary. They are making minimum wage unlike waitresses and bartenders who might only make $2.13 an hour. It's nice to tip coffee shop people, but it's not a requirement like the others where literally they tip out on sales so if…

We always trick or treated in our suburban neighborhood. I live in NYC now and it's weird. You either trick or treat in your building or you go to businesses and trick or treat. You just walk into a restaurant or a shop and they give you candy.

The restaurant then doesn't lose the money, and in their eyes it's our fault for not being more aware and making sure they don't. That place was bar / restaurant so we started collecting credit cards sometimes if people were closer to the door or we felt the might run out. And if people wanted separate checks from the…

They definitely know I appreciate it. I also love that he cooks. And that I really love his parents. Okay now I really am showing off. My mother told me if I ever end it with him she's adopting him. Luckily we openly talk about wanting to get married in a few years. I'm the younger one so I need more time.

My boyfriend's the one who cooks so I like shopping with him in the city. But once a month he goes with his mom to Long Island to stock up on cheap groceries and I have to drink a redbull to get through it. They go to four stores minimum, and read the circulars so they will know exactly what is on sale at each one. It…

God I love that my boyfriend cleans. He's the girl in our relationship and we both readily admit it.

Honestly male strippers crack me up. I don't find a man in a thong wiggling around that sexy. I went to one show and I was like, "I'm slightly aroused, but mostly this is hilarious." One of the bartenders asked why I was laughing. I actually enjoy female strippers though, even though I'm a straight woman. I've been to…

It is not that hard to keep them locked or out of reach of children. If you can't do that then you probably shouldn't be a parent. And there are kids who try to drink things like windex because they don't know any better, and that is far more dangerous.

I know it's illegal, but basically your options limited and when you need a job you put up with it. The really messed up thing was the owner didn't know, so when he found out he told us we never had to pay for a table again unless we were just napping in the back or something.

I know it's hard but really do tip when you are in the states. I lived in London so it's very different there. In the states generally tip 20% for decent service. A dollar per drink if you're at a bar, unless it's fancy more expensive cocktails. Not all minorities tip poorly. It depends upon the place and the…

One of my best moments started out as a disaster. We had a walkout on a bill of about $60. The other waitress and I were both really upset because we would have to pay it and it would be a large portion of our tips for the day. The other girl actually went and cried in the bathroom for a bit. We had these two sweet…

That's terrible. No server should ever do that especially on purpose. I have been on the side of serving, and it did start to make me have some prejudices I'm not proud of. I worked in a sports bar with very cheap drinks and wings so we tended to get a cheap crowd sometimes. Our place didn't even have tips included on…

See my place had a dump bucket where all the ice got thrown out and melted down and it usually had trash like straws and whatnot in it that we threw out after we melted the ice so I had no problem people putting their paper trash in cups.

I don't think it's rude. In a fine dining establishment it could maybe be seen as that or just a bit weird, but I've waitressed in a bar setting with baskets upon baskets of wings, and I'd have 17 tables to myself sometimes so I think it was such a help when people stacked them for me. Or when I'm bartending and all…

I realize I do a similar thing when I'm bartending. My voice is higher. It's happy and chipper. Funny enough I actually kind of like that aspect of work because sometimes pretending your happy and smiling a lot can bring up your mood. (Not all the time). Plus in I traveled in Eastern Europe and I did miss American…

I believe that the 18 thing is important. It's not even as much about them being 18 for me then seeing the people who break the rules. I had a friend who was 17 and slept with a 30 year old guy who knew her age. It is illegal where I'm from. He knew she was illegal and yet he still slept with her anyway. He ended up…

I don't generally have a problem with the title. If it makes more people click on it then more people read the article and know about the issue. I might not have read the article by the other title, because I didn't know about Christy Mack. Also the misogynistic language that they used in the title was truly used by…

A lot of the time women truly do wear headphones and sunglasses to be more unapproachable. We really do. Yes, we probably also like listening to music and eye protection, but even if I am just wearing headphones for music I don't want someone trying to talk to me because I am trying to listen to my music and you are…

A lot of times we just want to walk down the street without being bombarded, and complimenting me (a complete stranger who is just trying to go about her day) gets really old and annoying. Women don't feel the need to go around complimenting every hot man we see. If I'm at a party or a bar and talking to a guy that…

I shared an apartment with another college girl in Brooklyn and this very large middle aged African American guy who lived on the couch and was the lease holder. I got back from a trip after a weekend and got a message from her telling me not to go home, and if I did to keep my door locked the whole time. While I was…
