Always, and Well for good treatment.. 

Momma_Mayhem and myself went for a $30.00 meal ..

20% would only be $6.00 for good service..

Slid a $5.00 bill out at the beginning of ordering.

Told the fine young man.. another $5.00 additional for good service..

A total of $10.00 tip 30% was available if he kept Momma_Mayhems Iced Tea full..

And My All you could eat Pasta coming..

He did good on it.. so, I did what I said.. a total of 30% for his efforts..  on a $30.00 Meal..

Always. 

If I have enough money to go out for a meal, I better have enough money to tip the server a decent amount too.....remember, they make less than minimum wage and in some cases they have to 'tip out' their bus boys and runners on a percentage of their sales, whether anyone leaves THEM a tip or not.

A tough job.

I just want to know what they mean when they say..

''Would you like a table dance'' with that.. 

I'm just afraid to say yes, can anyone help here..

Hmm....what kind of restaurants do you go to?  I thought tables only danced at seances.

Well, there was food there, and music playing...

A lot of little round tables..

Oh, and the Waitresses were real nice, they were wiping our table clean.. Leaning way over to make sure it was clean from the past dinner served..

And one big long one with chairs in a U shape surrounding some sorta big buffet looking table. 

I never seen any of the waitresses bring food when they came out to walk around it.. guess they were just seeing what tables needed food or drinks.. 

They must have not made a lot of tips because most of them could not afford clothes that fit proper..

 

I just didn't get it.. Any Help...??
