How do you tip?

I try to be part of the solution; I tip 20%ish.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Last Monday a table didn't leave until 11:50. We close at 10:00. Basically you're saying we have no right to be upset at them even though they're the ones not respecting company hours. If we were to go by what Sass and Seris are suggesting, we wouldn't even begin closing until they'd left. Almost two hours after we were closed, simply because there was one table left.

I don't think anyone's saying you don't have the right to be upset. Just that people will come in while you're seating new customers, and they will stay until they are ready to leave. Don't expect that to change, and don't expect my sympathy when it happens.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There are a number of restaurants (cheap and high-falutin') that don't allow tipping because they pay their servers adequate wages. One place I go to a lot for lunch is Noodles & Company. A lunch there usually costs $8 - $10, including drink. No double price here, that's how much I routinely pay for lunch.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What you should've done was take your tip back. I mean, she was yelling at you already, might as well go for broke.

But no that's pretty shitty.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

lol we very nearly did that one time. Of course, we were trying to tip the manager, because we had a tasting and it was all free. They put up a really excellent spread too. Good place all around.

I was speaking idiomatically.
