What made me do it? She said specifically "I put utensils and mild sauce into your bag - is there anything else you need?"<BR/><BR/>I think she made a specific point to show that she did something tip-worthy for me. Well, it worked. I hope they don't all know this trick.

Highway robbery! You're not bringing me two courses of food, you're not keeping my water full, and you're not there at my every beck and call. You pour my drink and give it to me. Twenty percent, for that!<BR/><BR/>I will grant you that <I>per time</I>, a bartender is doing a lot more work for me than a waiter. Still, it doesn't seem justifiable that pouring a beer from a tap is worth $1.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't tip for carry-out. I tip for service, not the kitchen, and the kitchen does all the work in this case. I <I>would</I> tip the kitchen for carry-out if tipping the kitchen were customary at restaurants in general, but it isn't.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147801672562702471noreply@blogger.com
