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:

I suspect this ought to be fun getting sorted out. :mad:

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