    My dad once pulled the “there goes 5% of her tip” when a waitress at a slammed-lunch-rush-on-a-Sunday restaurant forgot his precious iced tea. I excused myself and went to the ATM at the gas station next door to get $40 cash. When the bill came, he paid for us, and as she came to pick up the receipt I stopped her and handed the money over. Dad asked me why I did that and I told him it was a lesson for him. Manners… who fucking raised these boomers?

      If your job is paid so bad that you depend on tips the system is broken and you shouldn’t support this. Instead of tipping the waitresses you should form a union.

    Easy. Just make your own coffee. It’s cheap. Start with an Aero Press, a cheap grinder and a decent water cooker. Nice beans. Done.

      First time hearing of Aero Press, interesting concept. I can also recommend the French press or going Turkish.
