Why do we tip waiters but not plumbers?
Pizza delivery guys but not mail men?
Barbers but not auto mechanics?

You can't say it's because waiters don't make much. There are lots of people that don't make much, besides employers are required to make up the difference between what they make and minimum wage...so they make AT LEAST minimum wage.

why has 10% moved to 15% and now 20%

Why do most people tip even if the service was below average?

You shouldn't have to tip out of fear (otherwise shouldn't we tip our doctors so that he diagnoses us correctly)?

Why is it called a "gratuity" but waiters expect it or restaurants include it?

And finally, if you think the system sucks, but you tip anyway...why do you do so?

Does anyone else think the practice is completly out of hand???

This is an experiment I haven't been able to try. The soda is supposed to act as stomach acid in raw pork uncured, like a pork chop (not bacon or deli ham). It tricks the small worms that survive in pork to come out like is in the stomach of a living organism. Try it and let me know!!!!

Just bought a new smoothie machine. It comes with all sorts of recipes but all of them are heavy and have lots of calories. Any good healthy, all natural, or almost natural recipes out there?

Is it just like A1 sauce?

I was watching this movie called "Intermission" today, set in Ireland, with Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy, and they were putting this thing called brown sauce into their tea. I just wondered what it tasted like and if it's sold over in the States, and after some research, I found out it might be close to A1 sauce, but I can't be sure.

BTW, it's a very good movie, highly recommended!

I saw an old 80's movie today, and somebody was drinking alcohol out of a shoe. Why did they do this? Is it supposed to make you more drunk? Or was it just the cool thing to do? Sorry if this is just a stupid question, but I really would like to know. Thanks!
