WTH is this---

Wow, that's some serious grumppage

It's not like they make all that money to begin with. Sweating away over a rocketship engine hot wok burner for hours on end to ensure you're beef is cooked just right...for what...7-9 bucks an entree?

What follows is a true story, just happened a few months ago.

I was picking up a large order of Chinese take out from the joint on Main in North Tiverton. Where they have a very large plastic tip jar on the counter next to the register.

As I'm walking out the door with a bag in each hand I hear a bit of a ruckus inside, then right behind me bolts a young guy...cradeling the TIP JAR!

He nearly bumped into me from behind, but managed to sneak around and started to dash across the parking lot.

Right about this time I'm thinking to myself if it's worth dropping the bags and doing my best Mike Singletary

When suddenly, the tip jar remembered it was previously bolted to the counter and no longer had a a bottom

Like a blooming flower, it explodes sending change up and across the entire parking lot

The woman comes out and I ask if they called the police...no, she says...this third time happen this year!

Wasn't grumpin about the family, they deserve every penny they make. I'm sure it was the new upper middle class high school kids idea. It started right after they started working there.

I never tip for take out or coffee, I do tip the pizza delivery person
remember that waiters and waitresses work for a wage lower than minimum
wage and there tips are supossed to make up for the difference, plus you tip
for the service you recieve while being served.

Have you ever noticed that when you don't tip @ DD or any other coffee shops they act like your some kind of ******* ! I do believe that TIPS mean to insure promptness and service..... It takes 4-ever and a day at most places and the coffee usually sux ! Although I do believe in tipping your server well @ restraunts (depending on service) because they only make 2.89/ hr! That does not include take out....

OK how much do you tip at the Chinese chow wagon when you do the buffet gig? They serve you nothing and only remove the dirty dishes..... 10% ...15% ...?% or nothing at all?? Just bustin them folks...

I agree. A good waiter or waitress deserves a good tip, or even the delivery guy. I'll leave anywhere from 25-30% for good service.

Take out at the sub shop or Dunkin Donuts? You gotta be kidding me

since i have this wild mallard duck that comes up from the pond
to feed under the bird feeder i decided to throw some white rice
(the restaurants always give you that extra lil container, )
... out there....and No birds would eat it..--> that told me allot.

from then on...i won't eat it. we buy only the wild rice now
and make it
ourselves instead.

Did you apply the "Duck Sauce" required for the Mallard? Heh.Heh
