Well, all this talk of waiters, etc here on the newsgroup and guess what?
I was home sick yesterday and therefore was SO lucky to be able to see
Geraldo, Ricky Lake and the Ophrah show. Oprah's show was on waiters and
tipping and also on retail and customers in general. They had a camera go
out to the parking lot after a guy left the restaurant leaving what the
waiter thought was a lousy tip. It was quite funny 'cos his wife was behind
him calling him a big cheapskate!! Anyway, it turned out that he said that
he was brought up that you didn't tip on alcohol, just on the food. So he
gave the waiter 19% on the food part, but it ended up only being about 10%
on the whole bill. I've never heard of this kind of tipping before. I myself
do not think I should have to include tax as part of what I'm tipping on,
but not to include the bar bill is so unfair.

Anyway, she also had these 2 women who had complained and complained on a
previous show about how terrible servers were. So Oprah made them wait tables
and do the lunch shift at a fast food place. Boy did they change their
attitudes fast!

So, I just thought it was pretty interesting that Oprah was adding to our
thread.                  Bridget
