So the hopelessly unemployable alcoholic Pitt starts one of the DUmp's favorite types of thread - tipping policy. It's a guaranteed DUmmy magnet, where dozens of welfare mooches and minimum wage toilers and can brag about how generous they are with waitresses in restaurants they've never entered. The lies are all similar and really boring. On average, the DUmp has a tipping thread about once every ten days or so.
But then TiTtyboy Hollis Wright shows up, one alcoholic posting on another alcoholic's thread. TiT takes the lying to a new level, and saves Pitt's thread from being an absolute bore:

93. As I posted below.
If you frequent the same hotel(s), the best bar trick in the world are the tips you left on previous stays. I love to go into the crowded bar at the Ellis in Atlanta and a Manhattan magically appears.

89. Agreed, on the hotel thing.
At the hotels where I most frequently stay, the entire staff knows me by name.
I treat them with respect and I tip everyone, including desk staff.
Makes a huge difference in a crowded bar, especially if I am hosting business associates. The best bar trick is the tips you left on your prior stays.

And it never hurts in a new place to wait until the second round to start a tab!

It'll get you a better pour on a decent bourbon, too.
Now TiT has "business associates"! And he frequently travels outside California!

Won't be long before we'll be re-regaled with stories of his private jam sessions with legends of the music industry on their private yachts.

He probably still does some secret missions for "The Company" ever so often.
-
More than likely he shows up at a flophouse near Five Points in Atlanta and the front clerk goes, "Aw, shit--we barely got the shit stains out of the towels and sheets from the last time he skipped the bill!!!"

Isn't TiT one of the record execs that screwed Chef over back in the 70s?

I lived in Atlanta for a few years and I know the area of which you speak. The inhabitants of Five Points are probably a few social steps above TiT.

With a green highlighter. And that does not make sense. Why would a SEAL/Marine/River Boat Pilot/self-proclaimed most awesome man in the world attack someone with with a green highlighter? Does that make sense? NO! It. does. not. make. sense.

Damn it, he's using the Chewbacca defense.

Don't bring the First Lady into this.

He probably brags to people that he knows where a certain black helicopter is kept when it's not flown by some guy named Hawke and his friend Dom.

What a train wreck! :mental:

Ah hell; he probably joy rides in that black helicopter all the time. Point a shotgun in Hawke's chest and he backs down like a wuss, every time.
:lmao:

I don't get this at all. I go to a restaurant, and service is completely conditioned on money I must pay in addition to the prices on the menu.
If that is the case, then they need to implement a self-serve component to dining.
-
One more thought. Why aren't these restaurants covered by unions? Shouldn't the restaurant be paying them a wage they can live a "decent life" on?
I am confused.

Tipping is something nearly unheard of here.
There's usually a Tips jar on the counter where you pay the bill on leaving the establishment - but in general it's not done unless you've received exceptional service and wish to reward it.
Granted that staff in such places are paid a fairly fat "minimum wage" and the prices for food are proportionally greater.

I know. It just seems strange not to.
I've taken to carrying a dozen US two dollar bills with me. Find out if waiter/waitress has kids/grandkids, then give out the bills as something the kids might enjoy.
US dollar coins also work.

I make 2.85 an hour as a server. I rely on tips to pay my bills. For the most part; I get good tips (20% or so); but every once in a while I have a bad day. Last Saturday I had FOUR tables not leave me a dime...and I'm a good server. No one runs out of drinks, and I check on them a couple of times. The worst tippers are teenagers and French Canadians....you're lucky if you get anything from them.

My first visit to Japan, I had yet to master the art of minimizing luggage on international trips.
I had a really big suitcase, heavy as lead, and a couple of good-sized duffel bags.
When we finally reached the hotel in downtown Tokyo, a skinny little bellman wrestled and strained to wrangle my luggage onto a cart, then at the room repeated the job. Finally, exhausted, he exercised his English to explain everything in the room.
When he turned to leave, I tried to give him a tip. He looked as embarrassed as if I'd dropped my pants, and refused the tip.
It takes some getting used to when cabbies, waiters, and other service employees reject the idea of gratuities, but it's pretty nice.

I usually tip around 20%, but I have a friend who is a stingy tipper, and I've been known to add some cash to her tip to avoid being embarrassed :rant:

Does he have any friends at the DUmp? I think he is the most pompous asshole I have ever seen. His posts just ooze "I am soooooo rich and better than you". He is disgusting.

It's all an act.

I just got back from a company paid class and well I basically tipped 30% on all my bills. I got busted. My company only allows for a 18% tip. WTF? :o

So you have had that reaction before? :-)

In some states they do get paid minimum wage to wait tables, before tips. So the sign is bullshit.
