Yesterday was AWESOME!

May 13, 2012 11:49

My phone apparently doesn't like to make Facebook posts anymore. I posted something last night that I thought was a cool thing to post, but it's not here, and I feel like I lost the moment to post it. No big deal, really, I'm not going to go crawl into a hole and cry my heart out, just thought it would have been an interesting post ( Read more... )

You might want to update your Facebook app or clean out the chache and data. Usually that fixes the problem. I know Andriod just came out with a new Facebook app, Mac may have too. If that doesn't work, ask AT&T for help. You can call their tech support, they might have other ways to fix that.

And I don't blame you about the whole tip thing. I know you don't talk about tips to costumers.

And it's good that you had a good day, everyone needs one of those in a way. ^_^

See you on the 24th if not before.

Oh and try to be aviable on the 3rd of June and maybe you, me, Mike and Lidnsay can go out to dinner before I head back to NC.

I'm generally a pretty generous tipper, myself. But I do believe that violating a taboo of the server/customer relationship like talking about tips should be considered on par with violating similar taboos regarding bitching at your boss about your salary. So yeah, I probably wouldn't have tipped him either. If was someone I knew reasonably well (and liked) or he'd been a particularly good server, I might have tossed him a little extra.

But saying "It's been slow and I need extra money to see my mom" to a customer, even if it's true, is behavior on par with the sleazier varieties of stripper and isn't something that should be encouraged in a waiter.

Thank you! I know this is going to sound weird, but I needed that. I got some static about it on Facebook that really surprised me. Maybe I didnt paint the picture as well as I could have? It was a really hard decision to make-- I'm not that guy. I've seen you tip, and you're tip-ically more generous than I am, and I'm no slouch. I was so dumbfounded by the situation. What a weird position to put us in. Was I supposed to feel bad and tip him $100? Ironically, I had it, but I have other things I need to do with that. We're not drowning by any stretch, but we're tight enough that going to Applebee's was the first time we'd gone out in about a month. I have to worry about having my own house in order before I start worrying about some guy I don't know that's fishing for tips.

Amber, sign up for LiveJournal!

It was a really tough decision to make, but in the end, I think I did the right thing.
