You have never heard that???? Maybe it is because I am from California too, but a lot of people that I know were raised that doubling the sales tax is appropriate. As a former server, I almost always tip 20%+, but doubling the sales tax is super common here!

My thoughts exactly!!

Thank you. Sincerely, thank you for this. Made my entire day! ALL THE PRETTY BOYS!!!!!!!

That's actually a really good idea! Thanks!

Maybe it's just me! I went from waitressing and bartending to working as a software developer with no interaction outside of my immediate coworkers, and I'd kill to pick up a shift now and again just to talk to people and have the opportunity to see the joy that you can bring somebody through good service.

You few are SAINTS!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Okay, that is the WORST of both worlds!! I always feel so sorry for the tech support people. At least most people in restaurants know how to accomplish the basic tasks required to eat out. Nobody deserves to spend 8 hours a day trying to explain computers to people who have very little hope of…

Hey! It's at home, I'll text you when I get home tonight.

You'll miss it. Especially if you go sit behind a computer all day. :( As much as the service industry and all the crazy people drive you nuts, you will miss all of the social interactions.

That's funny, I always thought that older men were the worst. I would always get the ones who were retired from middle management and seemed to miss ordering people around. Including their wives most of the time. :(

May jmmm has trouble listening?

Not so much. I was a waitress for too long to not make sure she treat wait staff correctly. She is now a waitress herself and appreciates the fact that I insisted on that rule when she was younger. It actually helped her with her math skills too!

This is why I taught my daughter at around 12 years old that if she didn't have enough money to leave a 20% tip, that she didn't have enough money to go to a restaurant! It is bad enough having to wait on teenagers, when they don't tip it is just the straw that breaks the camel's back!

I need to practice this so that I don't freeze up.

I thought you satire was quite obvious, and very funny. Kudo.

I just drove 10 miles to pick up Arby's for lunch because I had a craving! Team Arby's!!

I was waiting to see if anybody else would suggest this! I think this would be a perfect replacement, and would address the diversity issues.

Well, we've all known for years that pineapple makes your cum taste sweet. Right? We all knew that, right??

Yeah, she really is always this delightful. She is definitely on the "celebrities I'd like to hang out with" list, with JLaw of course! Check out this video of her on Letterman, it is adorable!

I'm pretty ashamed of California! How are we so low? Even with Napa Valley, we are all the way down at number 8??
