Yeah, hand her a 20 your change would've been five singles with correct coins.

I wouldn't bet on it. I've gotten fives back from bartenders more then a few times and thought, "WTF? Do you really expect a $5 tip on a $5 beer, or are you just not thinking enough to give me five ones so I can hand two back?"Quote:

Hadn't considered the tip angle. But I had already dropped a couple of singles into the tip bowl.
Yeah, I remember having change figured out somewhere around third / fourth grade. Sales tax, too.
Pretty sure we had learned basic decimals / fractions by then.
Yeah, that's a huge fail all around. There's a drive thru coffee place I frequent that has a similarly bad pricing scheme. Hand them a 10 for two drinks and the tip is only about 50 cents. They literally work for tips. The owner should know that.Quote:

The other night change was $0.88, took forever for him to count it. Later when I was filling the change trays in the console I realized he gave me $1.18
I always tip takeout but what's the consensus on percentage? I tip 20% when I have full service but for takeout, the only thing the "server" does is take my money and hand me a bag of food. If I think about it, I generally tip 10% for takeout if there's a tip jar but not all the time; sometimes less, never more. It depends on my $1 supply and if I've been to a strip club lately.
There's a new dealership in my town. They were cheaper by a bunch and had a car coming in much sooner that I could put money down on and claim as my own. Burlington Subaru couldn't even do that because their next one didn't have a VIN yet. Some of it was just timing. Some of it was saving a few $K. And now I can get service 7 minutes from my house.Quote:

Those are the walkup prices for non-locals. They want you to instead purchase a pass for the season, an Epic pass if you will. Then they'd be cheaper.Quote:

Can we just say that clime change deniers are annoying? I have a few friends who believe it's all a hoax. One big conspiracy theory to reduce your standard of living.
If the service was decent I'll give them a look and ask for singles, if it was mediocre I'll just leave the change and turn away.Quote:

Worked out well, after waiting on hold for 90m. I'll consider it a win for the week.Quote:

No matter how much surveillance you disable, there's always more that you're unaware of.Quote:

I hear you guys on the new family member. Unfortunately our current dog is going in for double ACL/CCL surgery in 2 weeks so it really would not have been fair to her if I took him home as much as I wanted to.
After a 2 hour rodeo with trying to get him into a full Humane Society local animal control was able to take him and get him into the HS under some spots they have reserved there.
As my wife frequently notes I'm not the most sentimental person but I had some solid tears in my eyes after I handed him off. He's an obvious choice to adopt so someone will be lucky.
I wish.Quote:
