Some of his "best work" is when they go to take his drink order.

Him " I'll have a Martini standing straight up extra dry with no fruit."

Waiter looks confused, asks, "Vodka or Gin?"

Of course, this sets him off, cause as any good 40's gumshoe will tell you, Martini's are made with Gin not Vodka..........

Most of these young people don't know WTF "no fruit" means.

Yet he always insists on ordering it this way.... I think he thinks he's channeling Bogie....
LOL I'm sorry for the laughs but we have all been through this in some way an some elderly person we know. I wish I had better than keep your chin up but I don't.

Figured I needed to get my mind off the girl I really want to go out with who is 6000 miles away so I decided to take someone out here. Worst date ever. As in the police after some back and forth decided not to arrest me. What I want to say to you girls is I wont be tricked again. **** you.

I just read an article that talked about the new tipping standard is 25%... I'm like WTF.... I'm really sorta semi irked about the whole tipping concept to begin with... supposedly they don't do it in europe.... I don't know...

But Really at the end of the day, you as the customer is supplementing the low pay that restaurant provides.. the whole thing just seems sorta weird really.

I do tip.. I tip decently... but now I'm supposed to kick it up to 25%... WTF... I don't get it..

When did this happen... when did I become responsible for the restaurants employees???

Shouldn't they build that shyt into the price of the entree??????????????????????

They don't tip in European countries, no. But European restaurants pay their servers as they should, unlike American ones, which does away with the need for tipping.

You were always responsible for restaurant employees. Just because the tipping standard has been raised, doesn't mean that you have to tip that much. Honestly, I don't really pay attention to percentages, rather I tip according to service received. I have my own standard, based on price range of bill vs. type of service.

****, there have been times when I haven't tipped - because the service has been that ****ty. Would you really want your tip built into your dinner cost?
