for the sole purpose of being abusive and hateful to the people who post there? How would you like it if someone did that to you?

....when I plan to entertain friends but only want to invite 'certain' friends in our circle and not everyone. Seems to be a problem when you hang with a set group of people. My husband says I shouldn't feel like I HAVE to invite EVERYONE, EVERY time. Anyone feel the same? How can I justify leaving people out and is it necessary to explain my reasons to those not invited?

I put this here rather thanh dining out section. OHOHOOPS

Often if a person"s' rest. (r) check is considerably higher than the amount tendered. The r person will ask ' 'can I get your change for you sir mam' '? And believe me you they know the bill at least rounded off approx and obviously what amount your giving, therefore the potential tip, with no change given, yet not a clue if any if you got all your change. This seems rude as my question is why they want such big tip And ask ALL of the time.

Example : Your amount for two people or one is $11.90, you fork out your $20.00, instead of giving you $08.10, they in effect are saying can I have a tip amountiong to about 75+% rather than 10%, 15 or 5 or even 30 % . ?

Another example total is 3.18 you give ten or $20 That's a 300% or 600% tip. Serious

Thanks esp any wait staff or friends of such sons.ob

I live temporarily on a Caribbean island. The pace is slow and people usually friendly. But their loud music goes on often at times like 6 AM Monday morning as well as late on Saturday night. I like these people but wonder if I can get them to understand I am here to listen to the sounds of Nature. The ocean is here , everywhere and I just want to sit outside and listen to the sound of the ocean and meditate.

I am female and asking a male acquaintance to meet me for coffee. I am going to be asking him for a business related favor. He is roughly 5 years older than I am (we are both in college). My question is who pays?

Certinally I do not want him to pay for me because it is not a date. Should I pay for him since I invited him? Or, being that we both mutually agreed to meet one another should we each pay for our own drinks?

My parents just came back recently from an oversea business trip. So I thought that it would be nice to spend our quality family dinner over at Todai Westminster, California. Just right when we entered the restaurant, there was a young gentleman greeted us:”Irassaimase! Table for 3?” I answered yes, and the gestured to us to wait at the other corner and someone would be right with us. So, we went ahead and sat down at the chairs that been laid out at that corner. Our waiting time was around 10 minutes. During that time, the 2 team leaders, Maggie Lee and Kyle, walked in and out, passed us at least 4 times total. However, none of them acknowledged our presence. Even though I was starring at them both, there was no eye contact in return. Was that how team leaders, managers on duty should act? And certainly, the Restaurant did not provide an extra mile services. I know there would be time that the Restaurant is swamped with customer, that was why we sat down and waited patiently. Is it not the managers’ job to make sure that everything was under controlled, and going smoothly? It only takes 10 seconds up most just to say: “Hi! How are you?” or “Have you been helped?” or “I am so sorry for your waiting, but I will be right you”
It turned out that the young gentleman that greeted us “warmly” at the beginning also did not inform his managers about our party. And as I mentioned, each manager have made contact to him at least twice every time he/she walked out to the desk. How irresponsible!
A Caucasian couple showed up, and got served right away. They were about to be seated by Kyle when I stopped them and said that I was there first. That man finalized our already awful night by a racist comment, and ruined it all. He went: “This is America; you have to stand up to wait to be seated”
I walked out of the Restaurant, and called the Restaurant back. Kyle told me that it was my fault leaving the Restaurant, and he was too busy to notice us.
How would this be justified?

I'm a person who loves doing nice things for people and making them feel good about themselves, but I feel a little uncomfortable in the spotlight when I receive recognition. I recently did something nice for a few friends I work with. (I wrote a thank you message and made them a gift.) They all individually thanked me, to which I replied a soft-spoken "you're welcome." After I said that though, I blushed or looked away quickly.

I don't want them to think that I don't appreciate their gratitude though since I responded briefly and didn't necessarily hold eye contact. I really appreciate the fact that they thanked me and said that it meant a lot, but at the same time, I get a little uncomfortable with attention. I just don't want people to think I'm disregarding their gratitude.

So, I was just wondering if you were on the receiving end of my brief, soft-spoken "you're welcome", what would you think?

I work in retail, and it seems like all of this "Christmas Spirit" has evaporated this year. People are so rude and and abrasive to the people working in stores, yelling at them for things like when their credit card declines (how is that our fault?). I understand that this is a stressful time, especially if you are low on money, but why do people think ok to be jerks to us when this is supposed to be Christmas.

My sister's boyfriend is an a**. Neither one of us likes the other at all. I actually had to ask him to quit being bossy in my home. He thinks he is in charge everywhere and was starting to get after my neice for doing what Ihad told her to do. He was invited to Thanksgiving and Christmas. He was a no-show at Thanksgiving and told my mom he won't be here for Christmas because I owe him an apology. I think he needs to man-up and move on.

I really don't know about them. Can you please leave me a few general lines I can use? Thanks you.
And do I need to give cards to everyone in my division? There are about 30 but I work closely with 5 of the them. Do you think it's good to order a cake so everyone can get a slice?
Thanks. Your answers are really appreciated.
