It was a strip joint and the guy wasn't going to take no for an answer. But this is a story for another time ...lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-887221582710487422010-11-18T19:39:04.644-05:002010-11-18T19:39:04.644-05:00I dunno, brother.

Obviously not but that mean that there are limits...and I think the guy that has 300 grand to shell out for the corner pizzaria probably wouldn't think a three buck tip was anything but a joke.<br /><br />That does not mean to say that I don't want Donald Trump to hand me a towel in the shitter. God help me, I do.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-33722187206417146132010-11-18T13:06:29.650-05:002010-11-18T13:06:29.650-05:00"When the time came I decided to get some win..."When the time came I decided to get some wings from this joint and have it delivered, as it was raining, damp, and raw and I didn't feel like walking there and back with cold wings.<br /><br />I call in the order and about fifteen minutes later who should be at the door but the owner himself."<br /><br />Seems to me the answer is evident. The guy hauls ass in the weather you don't want to wade through and you stiff him. Owner or not, the guy made a great effort, thus definitely a toke should be in order.<br /><br />I am basically a cheap guy. Always have been. However, I am getting better at rewarding people who go out of their way, store owner or not. The woman who cuts my hair always works me in at the last minute. She owns her place, but I know the times are tough on her and all small business owners. I now over-tip her. I feel pretty good about it. And I always know she will cater to me, which is nice.<br /><br />If you are a regular at the joint, do something a little special for the owner. Doesn't have to be money or a tip. i guarantee you'll both feel good about it.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-1077912402419978812010-11-18T10:51:53.995-05:002010-11-18T10:51:53.995-05:00Thanks MT.
