This little pub (yes it was a pub) that I frequented when I was in Paris had a bucket over the back of the bar. If anyone tipped, they would toss it in there, making a nice clanking, then ring a bell. It was a big enough event to get a tip that it warranted that treatment...

Why just in the US then? People get paid a normal wage in Europe/Asia/etc. And you're not supposed to tip there. But, in the US, we are? Why? I understand tipping in places like TX where the pay is DESIGNED around the tip (the whole $2.31/hr thing). But, why in other places where the pay is NOT designed around the tip? That was the whole point of raising the pay of those servers...to give them a living wage and NOT be beholden to living on tips.

If you're making $15/hr, I'm not tipping 20%. I tip well here because servers make $2.31/hr and the tips are what they're really working for. At $15/hr, you're getting paid a normal wage (like the euro model). I may add a supplement if you've done great, but for normal service they've already been paid.

I think one of the things with service in Europe for Americans is that we are expecting an an entirely different type and level of service. Europeans like to just sit and talk and hang out for hours at the restaurant without having the waiters bug them...Americans expect the waiter to be at their beck and call whenever they want them.

What percentage of the bill is eternal salvation?

I bet you're fun at parties...

No idea yet. When I get more info I'll let you know. And yeah...they'll have to differentiate themselves.

Took my GF 45 min to drive from our house here on NPI to the Bluff (she teaches/coaches at FB HS). I think I'll stay working from home, thank you. I did see on the Facebook that at least one person has lost a NICE palm tree. That sucks. Those are EXPENSIVE to replace. Apparently the wind was whipping the rain around bad enough that my Nest doorbell camera told me there was a person at my front door (it's pretty recessed from the wind). It didn't even do that during Hanna...

I just got a haircut today and every station had a cute little picture with statement "Cash Tips Preferred". I always tip well for haircuts because, well, idk, but they're making me look less ugly so I figure they deserve it. So, I did the cash tip instead of the tip on the CC payment. Figure they get to keep more of it AND they don't have to pay as much in taxes because taxation is theft!!!!!

Dad just said that the name will be the "Beach Bum". Original, I know. I told him to tell them that they need to have GOOD food there. Maybe that will differentiate it AND give y'all something decent to eat.
-
I'm only tipping for golf if the beer wench shows me titties... Hers, preferably.

Interdasting...just talked with my Dad (he lives at Medina Lake) and some folks he knows there are going to be opening a new bar in Port A in February... If he finds out more, I'll post it here.

Book a refundable flight for that leg. If you make your original flight, cancel it and you've got flight credit. If you don't, you were going to eat the cost of the original ticket anyways and you still have a good flight to get you home... -
I wish I'd had this raising my kids...

Where is that?
-
I will say the only thing missing from the service at Per Se to make it 100% perfect was a fluffer to end the evening...

Padre Pizzeria Brooklyn Pie or New York Pizza Co (I hope to GOD you're not talking about Dominos) And actually, the best restaurant on NPI is Island Time I will say that Guajillo's is actually really good too. It's "Tex without the Mex"

Woah...didn't know that. Looks like my fee is going from $450 to $595. I think the AC fee used to be $650 and now it's $825 (I'm Gold so there's a HUUUUGE discount from $850). I may not renew the card now. I have an AMEX Platinum so I can get in the AMEX lounges which seem to be nicer in the places that I've been. It was hard to justify at $450... -
Apparently the Nueces County Appraisal District thinks it is based on my property tax bill this year...

Is this them???
