Hey freedom fighter, posted a video you might find interesting. It is long though, so I don't know if you have time now.

My first job was as a bus boy/dishwasher at a Western Steer restaurant in North Carolina. I hated it. I, too, tip at least 20% and typically more depending on what I order. It figures the ones everyone else would want to label as heartless libertarians would be the ones who tip the greatest.

I'm not sure why everyone else on that post hates tipping waitresses so much.

My first job was as a bus boy/dishwasher, and the waitresses I worked with made $2.13 an hour - three dollars less than minimum wage at the time. Waitresses don't just keep their tips...they have to "tip out" other people like the bus boy, etc. So as a bus boy, sometimes I would bring home $50 a night in tips from what the waitresses would give me - outside of my regular wages which were above minimum wage.

To this day, as a rule I tip 25-30% on all bills, usually with a minimum of 20%. If the person gives really lousy service - aka - charges me for extra bread etc. I subtract that out of the tip sometimes; otherwise I always tip at least 20% even if they are mediocre. For really good service (especially on low-priced bills) sometimes I'll tip upwards of 50%.

Worst tip I ever gave was -$1.00 yes I actually subtracted money from the bill and signed it on a credit card. The restaurant had a deal "$5 pitchers for domestic drafts" and I had ordered Yuengling...ended up being charged like $9.50 a pitcher when there was a sign at the very bar "Yuengling...America's oldest brewery"

It should be noted that a lot of times people penalize the waitress for problems with the cook. If the food is bad, or wrong, or late - that could be the cook's fault; many times it has nothing to do with the waitress. And if its busy, and/or the restaurant is under-staffed, how is that her fault and why should she be penalized? If it takes one hour to get your food, eat somewhere else don't be a dick to the waitress.

Hey homeslice. I thought you may be interested in this. http://www.videosift.com/video/Flash-Guru-Explains-How-to-Read-QR-Codes-with-a-Flash-Webcam

Super fascinating. I know you don't code in AS, but it's all Ecma, right?

I will watch it soon. Thanks!

Nothing is wrong with downvoting videos. If you watch a video and dislike it, you have every right to downvote it. However, downvoting sprees where someone targets another individual on the site and downvotes all of his or her videos is largely frowned upon.

Sorry. Sometimes when we discuss things in the Sift Talk area, we forget there are others not so familiar with our "family drama" and we fail to explain things fully. I hope that helped to explain things a bit better.

Thanks for the quality! I think we should form the SCLU. That's hilarious.
