I agree... I always tip the servers good when i go out, cause i know they are working their ass off, and this is their job.. Plus a happy waitress will bring you more drinks, and be down to make your eating experience better..

I almost went to bed 'till I read that. You could also say that establishments regularly screw their workers by paying them $2.13 or whatever you said it is an hour, basically turning them into beggars with ties. And we're supposed to support this by tipping you well, thereby allowing you to become comfortable with this dehumanizing treatment?

That's a jaded way to look at it. Where my family comes from good tips are customary, it's part of our culture.

Well, we generally pull in around 750 to 950 bucks a week. It's actually better to get paid less per hour, on the clock, because you have to claim a crtain percentage of your tips and if you got paid more, you would more than likely have to pay a shitload back, each year, in taxes.

Everytime one of our glasses were empty she would appear at the table to pick them up for a refill. I'm not exaggarating either. She was the best waitress I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She wasn't the best looking girl but she made up for it in quality of service and she was VERY cool.
Yes, she was.. Everytime we would get done with a drink, she would hear the cup slurp, and be there to get us a new drink.. She was friendly, and really cool.. Our bill came to like $23, and some change, and i gave her a $20 tip..
Micros: i am Italian, and we tip well because it's respect to tip your server if they do a great job.. Only trailer park trash, and cheap people don't tip in my opinion.. It doesn't matter to me ,what they make an hr.. They got kids to feed, and bills to pay.. You tip when it's called for

Exactly. If I was providing a service (and did my job well) such as waiting tables or bartending and was not tipped well I'd be pretty pissed off too. It's a mutual respect.

Thanks for sharing, that is a very cool track. Did you guys ever complete the Pink Floyd Echoes rendition you were doing?

no, still working on it. My partners lagging big time. I cant really go on until I can record with him again. We got about 1/2 done. But we can finish it in one session. In terms of guitar and bass.. its going to be relatively easy to play through the rest of it. Our latest version goes up to the middle. The 2nd half of the songs drum track/organ/other syths are all laid out. I just cant do anymore until I have the god damn bass and guitar. Its going to get finished within the next few weeks.
