3. Wow that comment is an all time keeper
Please know that if you're a sorority girl and you write an email and tell me to put something on the page, I'll probably do it. Because sorority girls are hot, and they usually put out. Fuck, if you want me to stand in your sorority house living room so you can whack golf balls at me, I'll probably do that too, because I figure there's at least a 98 percent chance a panty pillow fight will break out or you'll decide you need to practice French kissing on one another. This email is from Leslie, who I heard can tie a cherry stem into a knot with just her tongue.

4. that's something i'd love to do...if i had the means
MrsCoffee and i go to a greek restaurant all the time, and 95% of the time we get the same waitress. she know's the kids names, knows that MrsCoffee always gets the gyro platter, and is very patient with me while i work my way through the entire menu.

i'm hoping to work it so that i can leave her $100 bucks next time we're there. i'd love to tip her 10k, though. that would be cool, and she's a great waitress.


i wouldn't do it on a card, though. the waitress has to report that.

6. Before Thanksgiving....
I left all the women in the Nail Salon that I go to a generous tip. All of them are sweet and have patched my pedicure when I mess it up-which I do frequently (my bad:blush: ). They were surprised that I was doing it so early. I told them I wanted them to get the Black Friday bargains.

I have a waitress that I still have to tip. She's the greatest. Remembers my and my daughter's names. Always asks after the other if we are not together. Spoils us rotten with great service.

And you're right-tip in cash;)

10. I worked my way through college on tips....
and have pretty firm ideas on it. For instance-I have told my adult Sunday school class that the customers held in the lowest regard were the after church crowd because they were the cheapest. I must have railed on for 10 minutes on the subject. When some of the members started to disagree- another member that had waitressed spoke up too. I think it was a real eye opener for the group.

It's a tough way to make a living-I am always a generous tipper-the only time I tip minimally is if it is totally awful. I'll walk out before I order rather than stiff someone.

8. I think he considers it value for money
He hasn't had a headline for a while. That's a "look at me" tip.

11. I never leave a tip on a card..
One time the receipt was altered to add to the amount of the tip I left. I now draw a line through the tip section and come prepared to leave the tip in cash.
